Australian police fatally shot an armed teenager after he attacked a man in a suburb of Perth Saturday night, authorities confirmed in a press conference Sunday.
Australian police shot dead a teenage boy after he stabbed an injured a man in an attack that had the “hallmarks” of terror, authorities said. The teenager, described as a 16-year-old Caucasian male, was armed with a knife when he carried out the attack in a suburb of Perth, Western Australia Premier Roger Cook said. WA police commissioner Col Blanch said that the attack “has the hallmarks” of a terrorist act, adding that it “meets the criteria or at least the definition” of this type of crime.
Police discovered after the shooting that the teen had stabbed and injured a middle aged man prior to his confrontation with the police. The victim is currently in hospital in a serious but stable condition with a wound in his back, Blanch said. The teen was known to the police prior to the incident, Blanch said, as “he was part of a program about online radicalization for the last couple of years.
