Mr Thompson abruptly stabbed the officer, who twisted around and fell to the ground, then engaged in a stand-off with multiple other police officers who immediately drew their guns. Bystanders came to the officerâs aid.
Footage of the incident, played to a sentencing hearing in the NSW District Court on Friday, shows members of the public running away and some cowering in fear as Mr Thompson held the large knife in his right hand a black backpack in his left hand.
Officers attempted to use pepper spray and a Taser on Mr Thompson during the confrontation. They continued to point their guns at him as he backed away towards the edge of one of the platforms, before another Taser was used and Mr Thompson fell onto the tracks. Multiple officers then jumped down after him and arrested him.
