Knife-wielding man goes on Sydney rampage, one woman dead
Byron Kaye, Paulina Duran

SYDNEY (Reuters) - A man went on a stabbing rampage in downtown Sydney on Tuesday, killing one woman and wounding another before he was restrained by members of the public, police said, adding they were not treating it as a terrorist incident.

The 21-year-old man, who police did not name, was carrying a knife and a computer thumb drive containing information about deadly attacks in North America and New Zealand, police said.

But he did not appear to be acting for any terrorist groups and the attack was not being treated as terrorism, police added.

ATTACKER’S OUTBURST: ‘SHOOT ME IN THE FACE’

Video obtained by 7 News shows the man yelling “Allahu Akbar!” as he jumps on the hood and roof of a Mercedes, before he is confronted by a man with a chair.

He then began screaming, “Shoot me in the f*****g face.”

I saw the video of the bystanders pinning him to the ground with a milk crate and a couple of chairs. Bravo!
Now let's see how much attention his Allahu Akbar shouts get.

If Reuters be the one to report on it, not much...
