Three British men pinned down a knife-wielding man who allegedly attempted to stab several people in Australia. Read more here:
"He had a knife, it was covered in blood. He kept saying something in Arabic, he was clearly under the influence of something.
"And I want to acknowledge those people, those members of the public who got involved. They are brave, and I can only use that word seriously. "And I think it would only be appropriate for the commissioner and I to thank those three individual citizens who have acted well and truly beyond the call of any citizen in bringing this offender to bear."
NSW police commissioner Mick Fuller said:"Information was found on him that would suggest he had some ideologies related to terrorism... but he has no apparent links to other terrorist organisations."A witness told reporters the man was screaming comments about religion, before yelling to police that he wanted to be shot.
