A 22-year-old man was the victim of an alleged stabbing at the University of Sydney, NSW police said on Tuesday morning.A 22-year-old man was the victim of an alleged stabbing at the University of Sydney, NSW police said on Tuesday morning.New South Wales police investigating whether a 14-year-old boy who allegedly stabbed a 22-year-old student at the University of Sydney has extremist links believe he may have been influenced by a “salad bar” of mixed ideologies.

Police were investigating potential extremist links, including white supremacy, but they had not identified a specific ideology, which is required before an incident can be designated as a terrorist act. Walton said it was unclear why the teenager allegedly targeted the student as they did not know each other.

Asked by a journalist if the alleged victim was Jewish, the assistant commissioner said: “No, there’s no indication of any interest in the Jewish community from this event”. “They are embracing violent extremist ideologies and moving towards violence,” he said. “I urge parents that are aware that should be aware of this risk to their children.”
