The officer was following the man with the knife, trying to catch up to him, when he turned and lunged at her with the weapon, according to the police. The officer then opened fire, saving lives, Anthony Cooke, assistant commissioner for the New South Wales Police, said.<\/p>\n<div class=\"css-1dv1kvn\">\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">The man stabbed people as he moved through the mall, the police said. Four women and one man died at the scene. Emergency responders said eight people were transported to area hospitals, and the police said that one of them, a woman, later died. A 9-month-old baby was among those injured and has been in surgery, Karen Webb, the New South Wales Police commissioner, said. <\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">The police said they have not formally identified the man but believe they know his identity. They believe he was 40 years old and acted alone, and that there is no continuing threat, Police Commissioner Webb said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">The attack has stunned and horrified a country where acts of mass violence are rare. \u201cAustralians will be shocked tonight,\u201d Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said at a news conference on Saturday afternoon. <\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">Here\u2019s what you need to know:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"live-blog-post-content css-1ie9vib ez3869y0\">\n<li class=\"css-1i3ul0c eoqvrfo0\">\n<p class=\"css-1il0jfh evys1bk0\">The police said the attacker\u2019s motive was unclear, but there were no immediate indications that it was a hate crime.
