Woman Tased by Cops After Cinema Stabbing
Police say officers found the woman still armed with a knife after the stabbing, and the man was taken to hospital in stable condition.
- On Monday at 11.40am, a 27-year-old woman allegedly stabbed a 48-year-old man in the hand outside the Dendy Newtown cinema in Sydney's inner-west.
- Officers located the woman armed with a knife shortly after; "Police directed the woman to drop the knife," a police spokeswoman said, but when she allegedly failed to comply, a taser was used and she was arrested.
- Emergency responders treated the victim for serious hand injuries at the scene before transporting him to a hospital in stable condition; the suspect was transferred to the Newtown Police Station for further inquiries.
- King Street remains closed in both directions between Wilson Street and Church Street as an active crime scene, with buses and vehicles being diverted away from the area.
- Dendy temporarily closed following the assault but expects to resume operations later on Monday, as authorities continue their investigation into the circumstances surrounding the stabbing.
