Current Sydney CBD Stabbing/s - Mert Ney charged

[Kurve]

Too early to say what prompted this attack, I'm seeing reports this boy/man was shouting 'allahu akbar' but I'm unconvinced at this stage he is even Islamic.

Distressing footage shows him running down the street with a long blade and blood all over his shirt, being tackled, yelled at and a milk crate jammed over his head to contain him. He's saying (I think) 'who are you?'

Might be serious mental health issues at play here.

Graphic.

All the signs seem to be there for an IS inspired attack but it still doesn't look like it fits. A mentally ill copy cat?

There's a longer video just starting to be circulated where one guy with a crowbar is yelling at him while he's under the crate and referring to the "pills he just took".

 

[BFew]

Is this his meds from the Ch7 footage next to him when he is on the ground restrained?

Sydney stabbing LIVE: One dead, one injured as 'lone actor with a butchers knife' brings CBD to standstill

Mert Ney, 21, was seen covered in blood and wielding a knife in Sydney's CBD about 2pm Tuesday. He allegedly stabbed one woman, 21, to death, while another woman, 41, was stabbed but is in a stable condition.

www.smh.com.au

It is also understood that Mr Ney knew the woman whose body was found in the Clarence Street unit.

Police have confirmed Mert Ney, 21, was acting alone and this afternoon's stabbing is "not currently classed as a terror incident".

NSW Police Commissioner Mick Fuller on Tuesday evening said Mr Ney "is by definition a lone actor".
"Information was found on him that would suggest he had some ideologies related to terrorism... but he has no apparent links to other terrorist organisations," Mr Fuller said.
Mr Fuller suggested a USB drive contained content related to other mass killings in New Zealand and North America.
