Stabbing rampage: Trio hailed as heroes for overpowering suspect in Sydney CBD

He said the man had been arrested and “the threat has been negated”.

He described the passers-by who brought down the man as heroes.

“The male offender was on his own and there was no person other complicit at this stage.”

Police do not believe the man knew any of the people he attempted to stab and that the attack was entirely random.

Authorities say “multiple crime scenes” are being investigated.
