A man stabbed six people to death at a busy Sydney shopping center Saturday before he was fatally shot, police said, with hundreds fleeing the chaotic scene, many weeping as they carried their children. Eight people, including a 9-month-old, were injured. New South Wales police said they believed a 40-year-old man was responsible for the Saturday afternoon attack at the Westfield Shopping Center in Bondi Junction, in the city’s eastern suburbs.
“I saw all the people running and I didn’t know what was happening,' said Ayush Singh. “I thought it was some people playing a prank or something and after some time I saw a guy with a knife running from the footpath to the cafe where I work.” He said police arrived quickly and told everyone to stay put. Singh said he saw the man running just yards away as he wielded a knife. “I didn’t hear him say anything,” he added. 'Just a random guy stabbing people. Mad guy.
