Sydney: Knife attack on priest amid recent tragedy (video)

A stabbing attack has reportedly taken place inside a Sydney church just days after a knifeman killed six people in a Westfield shopping center.

A priest leading a service appears to have been stabbed multiple times by a man who approached him at the altar.

Footage of the alleged stabbing was shared online after apparently being captured during a livestream of the service.

New South Wales police said they were responding to the incident.
