A woman is dead and another injured after a knife-wielding man rampaged through Sydney’s central business district this afternoon.

The man stabbed a woman in the street, and attempted to stab others, while reportedly shouting “Allahu Akbar”.

The knife frenzy ended when three ‘hero’ bystanders wrestled the man to the ground, restraining him with a chair and a milk crate, and police with guns drawn took him into custody.

‘Ramblings of a mentally ill man’

Commissioner Fuller was asked about the alleged attacker reportedly holding “literature, information and a USB thumb drive of white supremacist attacks”.

“I want to stress with you — it is early. In an hour’s time we might be stepping up here with a different story,” Commissioner Fuller replied.

“All the evidence points to that (the ramblings of a mentally ill man)” Commissioner Fuller said.

The 21-year-old alleged offender was taken directly to hospital and is being assessed for minor injuries.

“At some stage this evening, (the offender) should return to a police to be interviewed and criminal charges laid,” Commissioner Fuller said.
