Attack in Sydney: Polician stops the perpetrator
Attack in Sydney: Polician stops the perpetrator
On Saturday afternoon, a tragic incident occurred in a shopping center in Sydney, in which an attacker killed at least six people with a knife. There were five women and one man among the victims. The quick reaction of a policewoman who stopped the perpetrator may prevent other victims. The perpetrator himself was shot by the police, some of which were seriously injured, including a nine -month -old baby. Further investigations are underway to clarify the background of the attack, although the police initially do not suspect terrorist motifs.
The official, who bravely intervened, was called the "heroine" by Australia's Prime Minister Anthony Albanese. Their courageous commitment may save life and made it clear again the courage and determination of the police to counter the dangers of the profession. The incident triggered a wave of dismay and shock in the population, since such acts of violence rarely occur in Australia.
According to eyewitness reports, the scenery in the shopping center was characterized by panic when people tried to get to safety. Many people hid in shops or changing rooms for hours to escape the danger. The prime minister thanked the emergency services and first aiders for their work and emphasized solidarity with the injured.In Australia, such attacks are unusual, and the terrorist warning level is currently unchanged. Nevertheless, the government warns of possible threats from individual offenders. The rare incident is reminiscent of past trauma, such as the hostage-taking incident in Sydney ten years ago and the bloody shootout in Port Arthur in Tasmania in 1996, which triggered a sustainable social change in terms of firearm control in Australia
