Summary of what we know so far:

• NSW police has held a press conference saying the danger to the public is over, the man was acting alone and is now in custody;
• Police and emergency services attended an incident on the corner of Clarence and king streets;
• A young man, of caucasian appearance, age estimated at early twenties, has been arrested;
• Members of the public and firefighters restrained him on the ground; police acknowledged the bravery of the bystanders in apprehending the suspect;
• NSW police confirm a young woman was stabbed at a hotel and has been taken to hospital and is in a stable condition; she was stabbed in the back and there is nothing so far suggesting she knew her attacker;
• There are unconfirmed reports that the man yelled “Allah Akbar” and shouting extremist slogans and these will be investigated according to police;

(I’m guessing, I think NSW stands for New South Wales.)

Feel free to share updates and comments as the story becomes clearer.

How does one go about suspected of anything?

Its Australia. Everything has evolved to kill you down there from the spiders to the stingrays. So people are probably a little on edge.

But even there, running around, going in to the middle of traffic, shouting, threatening people, waving a kitchen knife and wearing a blood stained shirt will get you noticed.

It’s shocking even to koalas...

That is everyday in some U.S. cities

Well, things are a little different outside of the USA.

We had a stabbing in London on Monday. A 16 year old was killed in Camden.

Boy stabbed to death in north-west London

London was hit with a 10-year high in stabbings in 2018. There were 28 up to November last year (including the two reported below). By November, The article says there were 119 homicides nationally, among them 68 stabbings, 12 shootings and two deaths involving both knives and guns.

London on course for highest number of killings in a decade after 2018 passes 2017 total

A great day for gun control. Imagine how much damage this guy could have inflicted with a firearm?

Indeed, NSW is New South Wales, the most populous state in Australia (Sydney being the capital of that state).

Just think if the first victim had a firearm, problem solved much quicker.
mate, Gun control does not prevent illigal use of firearms.
It is the Criminal that uses the firearm illegal.
I agree that the USA istoo lenient with allowing their citizens with high powered firearms, but watch out for the prohibition of the right to own a firearm.
This is what Nazi germany did in Germany and Austria.
Took away the populace's arms, and they promised less crime in doing so.
Well, it was just an eyeblind to unarm the people to controll everyone with smaller armies.
The Same is happening in South Africa. South Africa is the murder capital of the World, and not even war torn countries can beat us.
Every day you hear how the ANC communist socialist government wants to remove all the firearms in the country, because of the deaths occuring.
But, they never tell you that it is CRIMINALS WHO DOES THE KILLING WITH ILLEGAL FIREARMS, NOT THE LICENCED OWNERS.
They make new laws to ensure that it is nearly impossible to buy a firearm, but they do this only as an eyeblind.
In 2018 the Policeforce "Lost" 4 730 firearms and more than 9 million rounds of ammunition.
These firearms are claimed to be "Lost", but everyone knows it was the corrupt communist ANC police officers that SOLD THESE ARMS TO CRIMINALS THEY GET BRIBES FROM.

Please never make the mistake to remove the right to bare arms, rather ensure that it is licenced and registered and the owner are well trained, and sound of mind.
Take the firearm away if he misuses it, uses it in violence, threatens anyone, assaults someone, or have a criminal record for similar offences.

But, have the right to protect your family, your life, and other's lives.

That's not accurate.

 

[Kangaroo Feathers]

That's not accurate.

trolls don't care about accuracy when there's an agenda to push

The article says otherwise.

 

[Lyndon]

That article turned out to be inaccurate according to later articles.

 

[Lyndon]

the Allahu Akbar stuff was just a rumour, suspect turned out to have murdered a prostitute he had seen several times without incident
