Sydney, Australia – A number of people have been stabbed during a service at a church in Sydney.

A video online appears to show Bishop Mar Mari Emmanuel being attacked during the service.

It’s not clear what he was attacked with.

A man has been arrested, New South Wales Police said.

The injured people suffered non-life-threatening injuries and were being treated by paramedics, the force said.

A police statement said: “A police operation is underway in Wakeley, following reports of a stabbing.

“Officers attached to Fairfield City Police Area Command attended a location on Welcome Street, Wakeley following reports a number of people were stabbed.

“Officers arrested a male and he is assisting police with inquiries.”

It comes after six people were killed during a stabbing attack at a shopping centre in Sydney on Saturday.

The attacker was shot dead by an officer who confronted him on her own.
