Several people have been stabbed during a service at a church in Sydney.
A video online appears to show Bishop Mar Mari Emmanuel being attacked during the service at the Christ the Good Shepherd church – barely 48 hours after an earlier mass stabbing attack in the city.
It’s not clear what the bishop was attacked with.
Members of the congregation can be heard screaming and rushing to help the bishop.
A man has been arrested, New South Wales Police said.
Four people were injured in the attack, New South Wales Ambulance said.
A man in his 50s suffered multiple lacerations and has been taken to hospital in a serious condition, along with a man in his 30s.
A man in his 60s and a man in his 20s were treated at the scene.
