‘Outrageously serious’: CCTV shows officer being stabbed in the back at Central Station – Sydney Morning Herald
Mark Thompson, 54, was experiencing delusions when he bought a machete-style knife and used it to stab a police officer in 2019, a court has heard.
Officers attempted to use pepper spray and a Taser on Mr Thompson during the confrontation. They continued to point their guns at him as he backed away towards the edge of one of the platforms, before another Taser was used and Mr Thompson fell onto the tracks. Multiple officers then jumped down after him and arrested him.
