A heroic police officer fatally shot a knife-wielding maniac who killed five people and stabbed several others — including a small child — inside a popular Sydney mall Saturday afternoon.
Authorities received calls around 3:30 p.m. local time that a knife-wielding man was attacking people at Westfield Bondi Junction, NSW Police Assistant Commissioner Anthony Cooke said during a press conference.
Footage obtained by 9News Sydney showed the suspect, wearing a gold and green rugby jersey and shorts, brandishing a long knife and approaching several horrified shoppers.
Hundreds of people were captured running for the mall’s exits during the stabbing spree.
At around 3:10 p.m., the suspect “moved through the center” in a crowd of about “nine people” inside the mall and launched his attack, causing “harm to those people we believe by stabbing them,” Cooke said.
Several posts on social media showed crowds fleeing the mall and police cars and emergency services rushing to the area.
Albanese condemned the “horrific” attack on the innocent shoppers.
“The devastating scenes at Bondi Junction are beyond words or understanding. Australians will be shocked this evening,” Albanese said. “This was a horrific act of violence, indiscriminately targeted at innocent people going about an ordinary Saturday doing their shopping tonight.
“It’s such a shock this happens in a country such as ours, where people should be able to go about their shopping on a Saturday afternoon without any thought that there is risk involved.”

Oh, Australia is letting this filth in just like Biden is by the tens of thousands?
Except New Zealand.
Too bad none of the victims could defend themselves before dying
Awesome woman. Hope she shot him in the balls.
He’s Jewish. Oops.
They called a Jewish white guy that? Weird.
Yes a white Jewish guy. You are right.
So apparently I was wrong in thinking this was the work of a muzzie terrorist, it apparently was a native Australian who hated women. He stabbed women exclusively apparently. Good shooting on the part of the police officer
All great points.
Yes, that’s right.
Perhaps.
I believe so.
