14-Year-Old Accused of Stabbing Fellow 22-Year-Old Student in Sydney

An incident involving a 14-year-old boy allegedly stabbing a 22-year-old student at the University of Sydney has been reported, and the authorities have asked the counter-terrorism police for help in investigating.

At about 8:35 a.m. on Tuesday, a man was allegedly stabbed in the neck and back on the campus in Sydney’s inner-west by a youngster wearing an army cadet-style outfit who had stolen a kitchen knife.

An Australian native was swiftly sent to the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital, where they are currently in a critical but stable condition.

Subsequently, a 14-year-old male turned up at the identical medical facility, covered in blood, and was later taken into custody for reportedly confessing to the assault.

The boy was previously known by law enforcement, having had troubles in the past. The reason behind the stabbing is not known. It is most likely not motivated by religious ideology, according to Assistant Commissioner Walton. He said perpetrators of these kinds of acts frequently have a wide variety of ideas.

Despite the suspect’s camouflage attire, Assistant Commissioner Walton made it clear that he is not associated with the cadets or the military.

The police have stated that they have faith in the accused victim’s capacity to cooperate with their inquiries.

The adolescent, who has a history of mental health concerns, was not acquainted with the alleged victim, according to an earlier statement by the NSW Police.

The event caused the adolescent to hurt his hand, so he went to the hospital to get it treated. An evaluation of his mental health is ongoing at this time.

Photographs taken at the scene show a coat and a bag placed beside what seems to be a bloodstain on the concrete sidewalk close to the university entrance.

The University of Sydney released a message to all of its students.

A representative from the institution has said that, as a preventative measure, more police and security officers may be on campus while investigations are ongoing.
