'I thought I was going to die': Tearful shoppers tell how they fled Sydney knifeman who killed six including five women - and praise hero who helped save wounded baby whose mother died in hospital


Tearful shoppers have told how they fled a Sydney knifeman who killed six people and stabbed three others in a horrific shopping centre rampage on the start of the Australian school holidays today.

Four women and one man died at the scene and another woman died in hospital. Other victims critically injured in the attack at Bondi Junction Westfield mall at around 3.30pm local time included a mother and her nine-month-old baby.

The Sydney knifeman was a 40-year-old and his attack is not thought to be terror-related, New South Wales Police Commissioner Karen Webb said.
