Jedna od svjedokinja, Megan Hayley, rekla je da je čovjek s velikim kuhinjskim nožem trčao za nekoliko ljudi i pokušao ih izbosti, ali da ga je nekoliko građana naoružano stolicama svladalo.
Video koji je objavila lokalna televizija 7 News prikazuje muškarca koji uzvikuje "Akbar" dok skače po haubi i krovu automobila, a nakon toga se sukobio s drugim muškarcem.
Nakon toga je počeo vikati "upucajte me u lice".
Policija je navela da je muškarac priveden, a žena u "stabilnom" stanju.
There seems to be a major police incident near York Street in the Sydney CBD. Witnesses report people running from the scene.

UNCONFIRMED reports of a man with a machete.
So insane! A random dude just started stabbing people in the city right outside where we were having lunch. I saw people running so I ran towards him with a few other guys.

He ran all the way back to near my work where a lot of others had cornered him for the police! #sydney pic.twitter.com/SQvqfDRz88
