One dead, two injured after multiple stabbings ‘incident’ in Melbourne

Hindustan Times  

One person was killed and two others were injured in a rush hour stabbing rampage in downtown Melbourne Friday, that saw police shoot a knife-wielding suspect near a burning vehicle. Police said officers “initially responded to a report of a car on fire” in the city centre at 4:20 pm local time, but discovered at the scene that members of the public had been stabbed. Media showed video footage of police then trying to restrain a large man in a dark tunic who was lunging, slashing and stabbing wildly at two officers as a pick-up truck burned nearby. “A man was arrested at the scene and has been taken to hospital under police guard in a critical condition,” police Superintendent David Clayton said.
