A young student, aged 22, was reportedly attacked with a kitchen knife at the University of Sydney yesterday. Thankfully, he is now recovering at home after being released from the hospital. The incident occurred at around 8:35 am on the Camperdown campus, and emergency services were quickly called to the scene. The man was then taken to Royal Prince Alfred Hospital in a serious but stable condition, where he received medical treatment.
After being treated, the student was able to return home last night. The university has since increased its security measures, stationing guards at campus entrances as students return to class. The university has also offered support services for those affected by the incident, including students and staff.
In the ongoing investigation, the state counter-terrorism command team is looking into a 14-year-old boy from the Inner West who was arrested at the same hospital for hand injuries. His mental health is currently being assessed, and no charges have been laid against him. According to Assistant Commissioner Mark Walton, the boy was dressed in camouflage uniform and armed with a knife. However, there is no clear motive or ideology behind the attack at this time.
Despite concerns, Walton clarified that there are no apparent religious ties to the incident. While the boy is not known to the 22-year-old victim, he is familiar to both the police and government agencies. For those in need of support, resources such as Lifeline and Beyond Blue are available for assistance.
