The bishop of a Sydney church was stabbed in the head and chest on Monday. The victim, a 16-year-old boy, was taken to hospital and is in a stable condition.
The incident occurred during a sermon by the bishop, who was attacked by a man in a car. The man, who has not been named, is believed to be a member of the local Assyrian community. The attack is being investigated by the Australian Federal Police and the Australian National Crime Agency, which is investigating the incident. A police spokesman said the victim's injuries were not life-threatening and that he was being treated at the hospital for head injuries. He added that the victim is expected to make a full recovery and that the incident is being treated as a 'non-suspicious incident.' The victim's father said in a statement that he is 'devastated' and 'deeply sorry' for the incident, which took place in front of a crowd of about 100 people in a suburb of Sydney.
