A number of people were wounded in a stabbing incident during a service at a church in a suburb of Sydney on Monday, police said.<\/p>\n

It was the second reported mass stabbing in just three days in Sydney after six people were killed in a knife attack at a mall in the Bondi area.
\nOfficers arrested a male and have taken him to an undisclosed location following the attack in Wakeley, about 30 km (18 miles) west of Sydney\u2019s central business district.
\nPolice attempted to control angry crowds gathered outside the church after the attack, demanding the suspect be brought outside, according to a Reuters witness.
\nMonday\u2019s attack happened during a service at an Assyrian church called Christ The Good Shepherd Church. Videos of the incident circulating online showed a man standing at the alter of the church and speaking to worshippers as another man wearing a black jumper walks towards him and attacks him. Reuters has not verified the footage.
\nHorrified members of the congregation scream as the man stabs the priest several time in the chest, the videos show.
\nThe Church streamed the sermons live on its social media page. The motive of the attack is unknown.
\nOne witness told Reuters that the priest attacked was Mar Mari Emmanuel, who is the bishop of the church.
\n\u201cThere was so much anger because the bishop is loved by them, he\u2019s loved by myself as well, he preaches about the lord and we love the lord,\u201d said a local resident Canny, who also saw the bishop put in an ambulance.
\nEmmanuel was ordained a priest in 2009 and then a bishop in 2011, according to the church\u2019s website. The bishop appears to be a popular figure on social media, with clips of his sermons garnering millions of views on platforms including TikTok.
\nThe wouned people suffered non-life threatening injuries and were being treated by paramedics, police said.
\nThe New South Wales ambulance service said at least four people were injured including a man in his 50s who was taken to hospital in a serious condition. There are 11 ambulances on the scene.
\n\u201cIt\u2019s important that the community remain calm and continue to listen and act to the directions of Police and Emergency Services,\u201d New South Wales state Premier Chris Minns said in a social media post.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
