Knife-wielding man fatally shot inside Sydney police station, internal investigation launched

The man shot by police was taken to Westmead Hospital but died a short time later.

A knife-wielding man launched a "frenzied attack" on a cleaner at a Western Sydney train station before he charged at police officers and was fatally shot, police say. 

Assistant Commissioner Stuart Smith said the 32-year-old man entered the turnstiles of Auburn Train Station just after midnight, where the cleaner "was just going about his duties".
