This proves that plastic is good for the environment as it was a sturdy plastic milk crate that helped take this ‘knife attacker’ down and keep him down. Someone buy those men a beer! That was outstanding teamwork. The last time an Aussie stopped a ‘knife attacker’ the hero of the day was a homeless man who used his shopping trolley. Who needs guns when you have brave Aussies armed with milk crates, wicker chairs and shopping trolleys? ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/31/f4/31f4e20a-0315-499e-83ff-139e8eab53bf/content/images/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/screen-shot-2019-08-13-at-8.28.14-pm.png) > SYDNEY – A knife-wielding man yelling “Allahu akbar,” or “God is great,” attempted to stab several people in downtown Sydney on Tuesday before being restrained by members of the public, with a woman taken to a hospital, police and witnesses said. > New South Wales state police said in a statement that they were investigating whether the rampage was linked to the death of a woman whose body was found later in an apartment on the same street as the bar where the injured woman was stabbed. > Witnesses said the man was carrying a 30-centimeter (12-inch) kitchen knife as he attempted to stab multiple people near a busy intersection in Australia’s largest city at around 2 p.m. > > [ynetnews.com](https://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-5568392,00.html?ref=goodoil.news) > > Police have praised the extraordinary bravery of bystanders who ran towards danger today, confronting a man armed with a knife in Sydney’s CBD and preventing potential tragedy. > An emergency situation unfolded near Wynyard Station at about 2pm when a man armed with a large knife allegedly stabbed a woman at a hotel of the corner of King and Clarence Streets. > The man, who appeared to be caucasian and aged in his 20s, then fled on foot and attempted to stab “a number” of other people, police allege. > It was the selfless quick-thinking of several men who worked together to stop him that likely prevented further tragedy. > “Shoot me,” the man could be heard screaming as he raced eratically down the street. “Shoot me in the f\*\*\*ing head.

He pursued him the hardest and managed to get a grip of him with another man,” Mr Cuthbert said.\[…\] > “They were brave and I use that word seriously. They were significantly brave people. To approach a person with the mindset of what this person (had), these people are clearly heroes. > “These people, going about their day to day business, have jumped into a situation that’s extremely dangerous. They have brought a person, who stabbed an innocent person for no specific reason, into custody.” > The woman was rushed to St Vincent’s Hospital with a stab wound to her upper back and is in a stable condition. > > [pacific.epeak.in/2019/08/13/sydney-stabbing-man-with-knife-stopped-by-heroes-chairs-milk-crate-and-axe/](https://pacific.epeak.in/2019/08/13/sydney-stabbing-man-with-knife-stopped-by-heroes-chairs-milk-crate-and-axe/?ref=goodoil.news) [Sydney stabbing attack York Street 130819](https://vimeo.com/353513576?ref=goodoil.news) from [David Adler](https://vimeo.com/user78676225?ref=goodoil.news) on [Vimeo](https://vimeo.com/?ref=goodoil.news).
