A man in his 40s was shot by police in Brisbane's south after allegedly brandishing a knife and making threats outside an Amart warehouse.
A man is in a serious, but stable, condition in hospital after being shot by police in Brisbane 's south. Officers allege he was brandishing a knife and making threats outside an Amart warehouse. Queensland Police were called to the store's car park in Rochedale about 5.50am on Monday morning, following reports of a disturbance. Upon arrival officers located a man, believed to be in his 40s, who allegedly proceeded to threaten police while armed with a knife.
Authorities say officers made a number of demands for the man to drop the weapon, but the situation quickly escalated. Acting Chief Superintendent Shane Holmes told media, 'When police attended, they observed the male person exiting the warehouse and they made a number of demands for him to drop the knife that he was carrying. There was a number of threats that were made by this male person, and when he advanced on police, police used a taser device. However, that was ineffective, he continued to advance on police and he was shot one time.' A crime scene has now been declared and investigations are underway into why the man was present in the car park. Officers immediately administered first aid, Acting Chief Superintendent Homes added, with Queensland Ambulance arriving shortly after to take the man to Princess Alexandra Hospital
