On Monday, a woman in her mid-20s went on a rampage through the Newtown shopping strip in Sydney's Inner West, reportedly stealing a knife from Mitre 10 and threatening multiple people. The incident occurred around noon near a cinema on King Street. A man was stabbed in the hand and rushed to the hospital in stable condition. Police located the woman armed with a knife nearby and tried to get her to drop it, but she refused. Officers then deployed a Taser and arrested her. Part of King Street was closed both ways during the incident.
