I just saw the video of this on twitter. Horrible. Good to see so many people rush to stop the attacker and help the Bishop though.

The man is in custody, one hospitalised (presumably the bishop) three others treated at the scene. No deaths, thank goodness.

Just saw the video, shocking. My son and I are due to go to Sydney CBD in a week and I'm rethinking a visit.
My thoughts go out to the bishop and the other people who jumped to assist, themselves getting injured in the process.

The national news service said the church had advertised that Emmanuel was due to give an Assyrian Bible preaching from 7 p.m. on Monday. It also described Emmanuel as a popular but divisive figure in the Orthodox community who had come to prominence in the COVID pandemic, during which he had been critical of vaccine mandates and lockdown restrictions.

"There are also reports of multiple others taken to hospital as a tense situation unfolds on nearby streets.

Mr Abdallah, who is a devoted Christian,
said he cannot comprehend why anyone would want to hurt him.

‘He’s a respected man in the community.
He’s loved by all of the Assyrian community especially',
he said."

Bishop Mar Mari Emmanuel is praised as 'wonderful' and 'loved'

This happened in Liverpool. A long way away from the CBD or Bondi Junction.

Unfortunately, with this kind of thing and the broad spread of media online, the contagion effect can happen anywhere. You're probably just as safe in the CBD as any place, at the moment. This is the first of the copycat attacks. We may see more.

MOO

I'm sickened by the violence taken against the police and the ambulance service. There is no excusable reason for this. I cannot comprehend why the church congregation took such action.
