Australian authorities have classified the stabbing incident at a Sydney church on Monday as a religiously motivated “terrorist act.” The attack occurred during mass at the Assyrian Christ The Good Shepherd Church, where a bishop, a priest, and several churchgoers were assaulted. A 16-year-old boy has been arrested in connection with the incident.
Police have reported that at least four individuals sustained “non-life-threatening” injuries during the attack, including the assailant, who was also injured in the altercation.
