Hero cop who stopped Bondi attacker to feature in rugby league's emergency services match

Police officer Inspector Amy Scott is understood to have connections to the Hunter.

Amy Scott, the career Sydney police officer with ties to the Hunter, who stood in the breach during the horrific Westfield Bondi Junction stabbing attack on April 13, has been tapped to carry out the game ball for the Sydney Roosters' first emergency services event at Allianz Stadium on Sunday, September 1.
