SYDNEY – A 3-year-old boy died and a 45-year-old man is in critical condition following a stabbing in Sydney yesterday, reported Xinhua.
The New South Wales (NSW) Police Force said in a statement that at 4pm local time yesterday, emergency services were called to a unit complex on Washington Avenue, Riverwood.
Police officers found a dead 3-year-old boy inside the unit and a 45-year-old man with serious injuries.
Paramedics treated the man at the scene, and he was taken to a hospital.
At a press conference yesterday evening, NSW Police Force superintendent Sheridan Waldau said the man had undergone surgery and was in stable condition.
She said a female resident called the Triple Zero.
Police believe the woman lives in the unit by herself and is a family member of the 45-year-old, but she is not the child’s mother.
“We have learned that his mother passed away a few years ago,” said Waldau.
She revealed that the attack on the child appeared to be a domestic violence-related incident. – Bernama, June 1, 2023
