An armed man has been arrested in central Sydney after stabbing a woman and being detained on the street by members of the public, police say.
Police said the man also attempted to carry out further stabbings and that there were "multiple crime scenes".
"Those attempts thankfully were unsuccessful," said Supt Gavin Wood of New South Wales Police.
The injured woman was taken to hospital in a stable condition. Police said there was no ongoing threat.
Videos posted online show a man running through the streets in the city centre brandishing a knife, before people attempt to stop him and eventually tackle him to the ground.
Other images show the suspect being pinned down with a chair and a milk crate, before being taken away by police.
