There Were Allegedly “Multiple People” Stabbed at a Sydney Retail Center.

On Saturday, Australian police announced that they had received reports of “multiple people” being stabbed at a busy Sydney shopping center.

The events took place at the expansive Westfield Bondi Junction shopping center, which was crowded with people on a Saturday afternoon.

Police have asked visitors to stay away from the area and have closed down the mall.

According to New South Wales Ambulance, a guy was fatally shot by a police officer. He’s thought to be one of the assailants.

It wasn’t immediately apparent why.

Witnesses reported that there was a panicked situation, with police attempting to secure the area and shoppers rushing to safety.

A supermarket provided refuge for a number of people, who stayed there for around an hour.

The air was filled with the sound of helicopters and police sirens.

Local media released security camera footage of a man scurrying about the mall brandishing a big knife and injured people lying on the ground.
