Sydney man charged with terrorism after stabbing
'Someone is going to die today': Man charged with committing terrorist act and attempted murder
Ihsas Khan, 22, allegedly stabbed a stranger in an Islamic State-inspired attack on Saturday afternoon, chasing his victim while repeatedly yelling "someone is going to die today," witnesses said.
Neighbours saw Mr Khan waiting in a reserve on Ohlfsen Road for as long as 10 minutes before local man Wayne Greenhalgh, 59, came through the park on his daily walk.
Mr Greenhalgh was then allegedly stabbed several times with a large knife, suffering near-fatal wounds to his hands and body. He had to run for his life into a neighbour's home before Mr Khan tried to smash his way in through a glass door while shouting "Allah Akbar".
Police sources told Fairfax Media that Mr Khan is a hardline religious zealot and has serious mental health issues including schizophrenia.
