Bystanders at a New Zealand supermarket were praised as heroes Monday after tackling a man who stabbed at least four people in what cops believe to be a “random attack.”
Two of the victims were customers and the two others were staff members at the Countdown supermarket in Dunedin, a city in New Zealand’s South Island, police said. Three of them were hospitalized in critical condition.
The suspect, whose name and charges have not been released, sustained a minor injury during a struggle with a group that stopped him from hurting even more people inside the store, according to police.
