Terror Suspect Stabs Two Police in Australia

Coming just a week after a series of dramatic terrorism busts across the country, two Australian policemen are injured after a confrontation with a suspected jihadist. The incident happened near Melbourne in the parking lot of a police station.

At an earlier news conference Wednesday at Endeavour Hills, officers said the man had been asked to come to the police station to discuss his intentions. When the two officers went to the parking lot to meet him, he lashed at them with a knife, the police said. A second knife was found on the man’s body after he was shot, they said. Officers said they believed that the man had been acting alone.

One of the officers was seriously injured. The suspect was fatally shot.
