Authorities in Perth, Western Australia, say they believe the teenager may have been radicalised online.
Police have shot a 16-year-old boy dead after he stabbed a man in Perth, Australia, in an attack they said suggested terrorism. There were signs the teen, armed with a kitchen knife, had been radicalised online, state authorities said, adding they received calls from concerned members of the Muslim community before the attack. The attack on Saturday night, in the Perth suburb of Willetton, had 'hallmarks' of terrorism but was yet to be declared a terrorist act, police said.
The victim, who was stabbed in the back, is stable in hospital, authorities said. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said he had been briefed on the incident by police and intelligence agencies, which advised there was no ongoing threat. 'We are a peace-loving nation and there is no place for violent extremism in Australia,' Mr Albanese wrote on X.
