“I’m advised that there are five victims who are now deceased as a result of the actions of this offender,” said New South Wales police assistant commissioner Anthony Cooke. The death toll later rose to six.
The motive was not immediately clear, but Cooke said “terrorism” could not be ruled out at this stage.
“I do not know at this stage who he is. You would understand this is quite raw. Inquiries are very new and we are continuing to make attempts to identify the offender in this matter,” said Cooke.

TWO BROTHERS SAVED 9-MONTH-OLD BABY IN SYDNEY MALL ATTACK
“We saw the man run up to the woman with the baby, and then we were both ready to go and help out.
The mother came with the baby bleeding, and we got them into the store and just kind of safe.
We kept yelling out to get some clothes, get some shirts, and just help us compress and stop the baby from bleeding.
I think the baby’s fine. The mother, unfortunately, started to have a lot of blood coming out of her mouth.”
