A teenager has been accused of wounding a Christian bishop and priest during a church service in Sydney, in a second high-profile knife attack to rock the city in recent days. The incident, which authorities have declared an act of terrorism, occurred at Christ the Good Shepherd Church where the 16-year-old allegedly stabbed Bishop Mar Mari Emmanuel and Fr. Isaac Royel during a service being streamed online.
Reports suggest that parishioners overpowered the teenager, with unconfirmed accounts stating that his fingers were severed during the altercation. Police confirmed that the boy sustained severe hand injuries. Video footage of the attack circulated on social media, leading to an angry mob gathering at the church, demanding retribution. The situation escalated as the crowd threw bricks and bottles at police, resulting in several injuries and hospitalizations.
