A major incident at Sydney’s Westfield Shopping Centre in Bondi Junction, Australia, has seen a mother and her baby “stabbed” and seriously injured.
Two men told 9News Australia they helped the mother and her baby as soon as they saw them, with one of them saying they were “trying to hold the baby and compress the baby and same with the mother, trying to compress the blood”.
The other man said: “It was really bad, there was a lot of blood on the floor.
“I hope the baby is alright.”
A passerby called the man a “hero”, while he replied it was a “very dramatic afternoon.”
