Australian police have apprehended a man believed to be responsible for a violent attack at Christ The Good Shepherd Church in Wakeley, a suburb in southwest Sydney. The incident occurred during a live-streamed Mass on Monday night, where a church leader and multiple parishioners were stabbed.

Authorities were alerted to the situation at around 7:10 p.m. when reports of multiple stabbings surfaced. The New South Wales Police swiftly responded to the scene on Welcome Street and took the male suspect into custody for questioning. Fortunately, the victims sustained non-life-threatening injuries and received immediate medical attention on-site before being transferred to a hospital for further treatment.
