Four injured in Sydney stabbing attack following car crash, Australian police say
Four people, including a police officer, have been injured in a stabbing attack in Sydney, police say, the latest in a series of knife assaults in Australia’s biggest city this year.
A man who ran from the scene has been taken into custody, police say in a statement. There is no ongoing threat to people in Sydney, says New South Wales state Police Minister Yasmin Catley.
Police say they do not believe anyone was killed in the attack, which followed a crash in the southern suburb of Engadine.
Aerial footage of the scene by the Australian Broadcasting Corp shows two crashed cars cordoned off with police tape.
