00:01The three people were shopping when they were stabbed at around 10 in the morning in the town centre at
00:06Marylands.
00:07Police say officers were at the scene within a couple of minutes of receiving the triple zero call.
00:12Paramedics administered first aid to what's been described as serious injuries.
00:17Unfortunately, a man in his 30s couldn't be saved and he was pronounced dead at the scene.
00:21He's yet to be formally identified.
00:23Two other people, a woman aged 47 and a man aged 22, were taken to Westmead Hospital.
00:29Police say their condition is critical.
00:32We spoke to a witness who described the scene as graphic.
00:35It's really sad. Just in the middle of the day like this, you don't expect it to happen.
00:42I'm in complete shock. Complete shock.
00:45Officers began investigating and found a suspect hiding behind a house in Smyth Street.
00:50At a press conference, Superintendent Simon Glasser said police are still trying to understand a possible motive.
00:57It's very early in the investigation.
01:00Police are unaware at this point what the motive was.
01:03However, it appears it was a random attack.
01:05It's highly confronting. It's a horrible offence to have taken place in Marylands.
01:11Just prior to lunchtime, lots of people around.
01:14Police say the man had a history of petty crime and mental health issues.
01:18They say none of the victims knew each other and described the attack as random.
01:22They do not have to see who she will lie before.
01:23They say no.
01:24They say no Lalit in office.
01:24They say no.
