Police in Sydney have declared the stabbing of a bishop and several worshippers by a teenager during a church service, which then triggered a riot, as a religiously motivated terrorist attack.
A 16 year-old boy is in custody after allegedly attacking and wounding Bishop Mar Mari Emmanuel while he was delivering a sermon being streamed live on the internet, just after 7pm local time on Monday night at Christ the Good Shepherd, an Orthodox Assyrian church in the west of the city.
The video stream appeared to show a person walking up to the bishop and repeatedly stabbing him in the face, head and chest. He fell to the floor and was struck several more times. At least three others were injured, including another clergyman, Father Isaac Royel.
