Newsy
A bishop leading Bible study was among four men stabbed during the service, which was being livestreamed.
Multiple people have been stabbed at a church service in Western Sydney, including the bishop leading the service, Australian media reports.
This comes just days after a separate attack when a man went on a stabbing spree at Sydney’s Westfield Bondi Junction mall, killing 6 and wounding more than a dozen others.
The incident at Christ The Good Shepherd Church in Wakeley Monday night happened while the bishop was giving a church service that was being livestreamed online, according to Nine News Sydney.
Video of the incident circulating on social media shows a man dressed in black approach the bishop leading the service. The assailant raises his arm and begins stabbing the religious leader repeatedly as he falls over. Attendees of the service yell in horror as many rush to stop the attack.
Local reports say four men in their 20s, 30s, 50s and 60s are among the injured. Emergency crews, including police and an ambulance, are on scene.
