Victim speaks of stabbing 'rampage' - South Hedland, WA

Victim speaks of stabbing 'rampage'

A WA Country Health Service spokesperson confirmed five people had been taken to Hedland Health Campus to be treated for injuries sustained in the attack.



Witness saw a 'great big knife'

Shelley Farquhar said she was leaving the shopping centre when she saw the attack.

"I saw this guy swinging a great big knife at this lady who had a toddler in the trolley," she said.

Thankfully incidents like this are very rare, in Australia.

We don't know yet.

I guess we'll find out who he is in a few days time ?



At least there will not be the expense of a trial and then his imprisonment.

I've travelled Australia extensively, and have seen some pretty horrible places, but I'd say that South Hedland is one of the biggest shitholes I've ever seen in my life.

When I was there last, about 30 years ago, I witnessed a stabbing at that shopping centre.

This is pretty much an every day event.

The knife wielding deceased male was wearing high vis clothing, was a ‘fly in fly out’ worker (I’m taking a real good guess to do with mines).
That’s all I can find at moment, not sure what made him go into attack frenzy mode?
Maybe Port Hedland could we’ll be a shyte hole as some describe, but how often is there an attack of this magnitude in the news from what looks like a dozy place in WA?
I was surprised to hear it was WA in fact.
Usually it’s bloody Melbourne or Sydney!

we arent talking about Port Hedland, we are talking about South Hedland. South Hedland has a population of about 9000 people. It has a huge crime rate per head of population, Theres always sh!t happening there, lots of violent crime.

It wasn't a usual suspect this time.

Turns out it was a FIFO worker, still in his high-vis clothes.
