Could see a little bit of blood so we knew he’s done something with that knife, so we just ran after him basically and people were shouting, ‘He’s down that way.’

“… In our heads we were saying to each other, ‘Be careful, be careful,’ and we were asking witnesses, we were saying, ‘What has he got, is there anything else?’ ‘Nah, it’s just a knife’ – so that made us press forward even more because you can tackle someone if it’s like that, not if he’s got a gun or whatever.

“So we went straight over, we got him near a cafe down near George Street. There was one guy already tussling and we just kind of like, everyone just jumped on the guy.”

Good work ey? [smiley=thumbup.gif] [smiley=thumbup.gif]

I said this will go worldwide...

I dont think it says a lot for our mental health treatment do you?...

yes well done to those young men who  didnt just stand around with their phones but this young guy should not have been on the streets....

>:( >:( >:(..

people should not have to risk their lives taking down someone with a knife [covered in blood]....who is obviously disturbed.... >:( >:( >:(


this is not Amerika where they kill each other every day..

did we learn nothing from the Lindt Cafe.?????

blaming it on terrorism is a cop out... >:( >:(

All the cops were on highway patrol making revenue.

Can't expect the cops to actually "protect" people.

They have to make money for the grubberment to give away to parasites.

If it wasn't terrorism then what was it? A convert to Islam shouting Alah Akbar killing and stabbing people - been many muslim terrorist attacks like that

Why does this sort of thing always attract the same pieces of poo trying to push their bigotry on everyone else?

Can't this thread just be about thanking those people who saved lives and didn't just hide behind a keyboard and monitor?

Since you lefty progressives can never predict a time when these attacks will end in Australia that you're responsible for, we'll say what we like

If only your best mate Aussie was there with his not small right hand, he could of pinned him to the ground.

Oh wait, Aussie is the man if you need a kid with a soft drink bottle pinned against a tree. My bad!

I've never commented about my grip, unlike your best mate Aussie who brags about his big right hand pinning children, god damn children to trees.

Do you condone adults pinning children to trees?
