Sydney knifeman was taken down by Brit and Aussie heroes armed with chair and milk crate
Brits caught up in Sydney stabbing recount moment they heard screams as knifeman stalked city's streets
They said the 21-year-old suspect stabbed a 41-year-old woman in the back, and was rushed to hospital where she is now in stable condition.Three Brits have since recounted the moment they ran to help pin the suspected knifeman to the ground. "We all kind of chased, worked together, but it was Luke who was the real hero. He pursued him the hardest and managed to get a grip of him."
A witness who chased the man could be heard saying: "Do you know how many people you just stabbed, you dog?"One witness told the ABC he was walking towards Wynyard Park when a man came running around the corner "with a long knife". They said the suspect had a history of mental health issues, but couldn't confirm local reports he had recently escaped from a mental health facility.
However, they added it was "the infancy of the investigation" when asked if today's attack was terror related. NSW Police Superintendent Gavin Wood said there had been "multiple" attempted stabbings in the attack.
