A bishop has reportedly been stabbed in Sydney days after six people were killed in a horrific knife attack in a mall.
Live stream footage of a sermon at a church in Wakeley appeared to show a suspect stabbing at Bishop Mar Mari Emmanuel.
Footage of the harrowing Wakeley attack was shared widely on social media and worshippers can be heard screaming in horror before trying to intervene with the incident.
The attack comes two days after six people were killed by Joel Cauchi with authorities saying it was “obvious” the knifeman targeted women in his rampage.
Five of the six people killed by Cauchi during his knife attack in the busy Westfield Bondi Junction mall were women and the majority of the 12 other people injured in the attack, which took place near the world-famous Bondi Beach, were also women.
According to Sky News Australia four people were stabbed in the disturbing attack at the Wakeley church.
The four patients reportedly include a man in his 50s, a man in his 30s, a man in his 20s, and a man in his 60s.
All four are being treated for lacerations, while the man in his 50s has been taken to Liverpool Hospital.
New South Wales Police said a man has been arrested and he is assisting with inquiries.
The force confirmed a police operation is underway following reports that a number of people were stabbed.
The police added that the victims suffered non-life threatening injuries and are being treated by paramedics.
