(News.com.au) The knifeman behind yesterday’s stabbing rampage had a USB full of terror propaganda, but he wasn’t a terrorist, experts say.
Mert Ney, 20, ran through the streets of the Sydney CBD yesterday afternoon wearing a balaclava and brandishing a knife after allegedly slashing the throat of a sex worker near Wynyard station.
He was apprehended by good Samaritans after earlier escaping from a mental health facility.
Ney, who has a long history of mental illness, spent Tuesday night under police guard at Prince of Wales Hospital in Randwick. He is yet to be charged but is facing murder charges as well as potential terrorism charges.
