- Residents say the man was holding a large knife
A normally quiet residential street has been thrown into chaos after a man allegedly started attacking innocent people with a machete.
Residents said the man started his rampage on Marion Street in Leichhardt, in Sydney’s inner west, about 11am on Saturday.
The man tried to attack another man on the street with a machete.
“The (passerby) man fell to the ground, but managed to escape unharmed,” the witness said news.com.au.
“Then another person was walking down the street with a backpack and he tried to cut at them and the man who was holding his backpack in front of him to protect himself.”
The man was eventually ‘arrested’ by police officers.
It is understood the incident is being treated as mental health related.
Daily Mail Australia has contacted NSW Police in relation to the incident.
There’s more to come.
