The attack in a video
The attack was captured on video, spread on social media and relaunched by the Australian media. The bishop is seen delivering his sermon at Christ The Good Shepherd Church in Wakeley, when a man calmly approaches him before attacking him and stabbing him in the face and neck. The screams of those present can then be heard, some approaching to help the victim. A man in his fifties was taken to Liverpool hospital with multiple stab wounds, an ambulance service spokesperson said, without specifying whether he was the cleric. Other people were injured and were treated on site. Six people were stabbed to death in a Sydney shopping center on Saturday.
