Teen arrested after student attacked at University of Sydney

Counterterrorism police in Australia are investigating after a student was allegedly stabbed in the neck by a 14-year-old boy on the grounds of the University of Sydney on the morning of Tuesday 2 July, writes Millie Roberts for ABC News.

Paramedics were called at about 8.35 am after reports of a stabbing near Parramatta Road in Camperdown where they found a man suffering from a single stab wound. The 22-year-old was treated at the scene and taken to nearby Royal Prince Alfred Hospital in a serious but stable condition. He has since been released from hospital and New South Wales (NSW) Police Assistant Commissioner Mark Walton from the Counter Terrorism and Special Tactics Command said a motive or ideology for the attack had not been determined.

The university’s vice-chancellor Mark Scott said he was “shocked and saddened” over the incident in an email sent to students. “A NSW Police operation is currently underway on our campus and ... as a precautionary measure, several buildings have been placed on secure mode,” he said.
