Tasered 95-Year-Old in Life-Threatening Condition: 'She Had a Walking Frame, But She Had a Knife'

A 95-year-old woman is in a life-threatening condition after being Tasered by police in Australia.

Clare Nowland, a great-grandma, is well known locally.

New South Wales Police said that they’d been called to Clare’s nursing home after she’d armed herself with a steak knife.

Attempts to de-escalate the situation failed, and Clare, who suffers from dementia, approached the officers using her walking frame.

One of the officers used a Taser on Clare causing her to fall and hit her head.

Clare suffered a fractured skull and a bleed on the brain.

Her family fears she may not survive.

Homicide detectives are investigating the incident.

Six dead in tragic Sydney shopping centre stabbing attacks

At least six people have been killed in a stabbing attack at a Sydney shopping centre on Saturday. Several others, including a small child, were also seriously injured, police confirmed. A male began stabbing multiple people in Westfield Bondi Junction just before 16:00 local time. Hundreds were evacuated out of the popular shopping centre but the offender “engaged with nine people”. A spokesperson from New South Wales Police confirmed that the attacker was confronted by an officer who shot him dead. Officials said he was a 40-year-old man who was “known to the police” but questions remain on the motive of the attack. Police believe the offender “acted alone” and are “content that there is no continuing threat”. Report by Bangurak.
