4 days, 5 unrelated stabbing attacks across Sydney. 7 people dead.

Six of those died at the hands of Joel Cauchi, the 40-year-old Queenslander who stormed a busy shopping centre in Bondi Junction on a Saturday afternoon and began indiscriminately stabbing shoppers, mostly women, before he was shot dead by a police officer. Two days later  a church in Wakeley, a suburb in Western Sydney where a preacher Bishop Mar Mari Emmanuel suffered lacerations to his head, but the sermon was being live-streamed, sending hordes of people to the church in its wake. No one was killed. Elsewhere in Sydney another 3 stabbings passed with less attention yet were more indicative of the knife crime that happens under the radar on any given week.
