Sydney stabbing: Bishop injured at Sydney church in new Australia incident

A bishop was stabbed during a livestreamed service on Monday as Sydney, Australia, was hit by another stabbing incident two days after a man stabbed six people to death in a busy shopping mall before being shot by a police officer.

New South Wales Police Force said in an update on X that it responded to a call from a church in Wakekly, a suburb west of Sydney, at 7.10 p.m. local time (5.39 a.m. ET) Monday, where there were reports that “a number of people were stabbed.”

Hundreds of angry people rushed to the scene and some clashed with riot police, with vehicles damaged, the Associated Press reported. The church and local leaders pleaded for calm.
