Sydney church stabbing treated as "terrorist act"

According to various reports, a knife attack occurred during a service at the Christ The Good Shepherd Church in Wakeley, Sydney. At least four people were wounded in the attack, including Bishop Mar Mari Emmanuel. The teenager suspected of carrying out the attack was arrested at the scene and held at the church for his safety due to the ensuing clashes between an angry crowd and police outside the church. The incident comes just two days after a knife rampage in a city shopping mall. Police are treating the attack as a terrorist act, and resources and intelligence are being dedicated to the investigation. The attack occurred while Bishop Mar Mari Emmanuel was saying mass, and footage from the church's live stream showed a person approaching the altar and stabbing towards the bishop multiple times.
