Australian police have shot and killed a 16-year-old boy who stabbed a man in Perth

Australian police have shot and killed a 16-year-old boy who stabbed a man in Perth, the capital of the state of Western Australia. The police reported it. According to the police, the act showed signs of terrorism and there are indications that the attacker became radicalized on the Internet, Reuters and AFP reported.

The attack, which happened in the suburb of Willetton, has signs of terrorism but has not yet been declared an act of terrorism, police said. “At this stage it appears that he acted entirely on his own,” Regional Government Premier Roger Cook told a news conference.

The man, who was stabbed in the back, is in stable condition at the hospital, according to authorities.

The incident comes after police in New South Wales last month charged several boys in connection with the April 15 stabbing of an Assyrian church bishop. A few days earlier, a 40-year-old man stabbed six people in a shopping center near Sydney’s Bondi Beach.

Attacks with firearms or knives are rare in Australia, which is one of the safest countries in the world. “We are a peaceful country and there is no place for violent extremism in Australia,” he said today in response to the cyber attack https://twitter.com/AlboMP/status/1786933007301165434 Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese.
