Several people have been injured in a stabbing at a church in Sydney, marking the second such attack in the Australian city in three days. According to local police officials quoted by Reuters, the injured individuals suffered non-life-threatening injuries and are currently being treated by paramedics.

The incident reportedly took place during a service at an Assyrian church in the west of the city, where a church leader and several worshippers were stabbed. Videos circulating online captured the terrifying moment when a man lunged and stabbed a speaker during the service.

Authorities have arrested a male suspect who is currently assisting police with their inquiries. The New South Wales Police have confirmed that a police operation is underway in Wakeley following reports of the stabbing. The injured individuals, ranging in age from 20 to 70, are being treated for lacerations by NSW Ambulance paramedics.

This recent stabbing comes just days after a knife attack at a mall in Sydney’s Bondi area left six people dead. The city is on edge as authorities investigate these violent incidents and work to ensure the safety of its residents. More information is expected to be released as the investigation progresses.
