Between that moment and 12:34am when police issued a statement saying they had concluded their operation, the suburb of Wakeley descended into violent bedlam.

The incident occurred at the Christ The Good Shepherd Church in Wakeley, western Sydney. Bishop Mar Mari Emmanuel was delivering a sermon that was being live-streamed online. A 16-year-old boy allegedly approached the altar and stabbed the bishop multiple times in the head and upper body. The attack was captured on the live stream, sending shockwaves through the congregation and the wider community.

In a surfaced video taken after the attack, the 16-year-old teenager can be seen smiling and taunting the people trying to restrain him. According to a translation, the teenager claimed that the bishop had “gotten involved in my religion” and “spoken about my prophet.” The teenager said that if the bishop had not spoken about his religion, he would not have committed the attack. The teenager’s demeanor in the video, described as an “evil grin,” has further alarmed the public.

The teenager was arrested at the scene and taken to an undisclosed location. Reports indicate the teenager sustained severe injuries to his hand, with suggestions that one or more of his fingers may have been cut off in an act of vengeance by members of the congregation. Angry crowds gathered outside the church, demanding justice for the attack on the bishop.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese condemned the attack as a “disturbing incident” and stated that there is no place for violence or violent extremism in the community. Police launched an investigation into the incident, with the acting assistant commissioner stating that the teenager was known to authorities.

The stabbing of Bishop Mar Mari Emmanuel comes on the heels of the recent stabbing murders at Westfield Bondi Junction, highlighting the growing concern over violent extremism in society. Authorities are working to uncover the root causes of such incidents and address the underlying issues that contribute to the rise of religious-motivated violence.
