After a car accident in the suburbs of Sydney, Australia, one of the participants went crazy and stabbed four other people, including a woman traveling with him and a police officer, the Sydney Morning Herald reported on Sunday.
Police reported a total of four injuries, one of whom was arrested while fleeing the scene of the accident. During the arrest, he injured a police officer. The officers used a stun gun on him.
Witness accounts cited by Australian media show that a man in one of the vehicles involved in the collision attacked a woman traveling with him with a bookbinding knife and, later, another person and a police officer.
According to The Australian, a woman in her 40s suffered multiple injuries and is in critical condition, while the two injured men are in stable condition. The newspaper did not give details about the condition of the fourth injured man.
Reuters notes that this year there have been several knife attacks in Sydney, Australia’s largest city, prompting the New South Wales government to tighten regulations on these tools.
In April, six people were killed and 12 injured in a knife attack at a shopping centre in the Bondi area of Sydney’s eastern suburbs.
