At least one woman has been taken to hospital after a bloodied man with a knife went on a stabbing rampage in Sydney CBD, jumping on cars and taunting police.
There is a heavy police presence on King St and Clarence St in Wynyard with the CBD in lockdown.
The woman has been taken to St Vincent’s hospital in a stable condition.
People are being warned to avoid the area.

Multiple people are then seen pinning him down with a crate on his head and two chairs holding his body down. He has blood on his hands.

Sky News has reported an eyewitness heard the man shout “Allahu Akbar” and then screamed at police “shoot me in the face”.

A woman named Alexandra, who works in customer service on Kent Street, told news.com.au she was walking towards York Street about 1.55pm when she ran into a male friend who had overheard someone yelling “he has a knife”.
He told her there were “a lot of people running towards them”.
Alexandra said three groups of uniformed and undercover police then ran from behind her saying “He’s gone into Woolworths” among themselves.
The police were running towards the Woolworths Metro supermarket on York Street, she said.
Alexandra said concrete barriers have been erected on Clarence Street.

An uber driver who was on King Street near the Grace Hotel told 2GB Radio that he saw the terrifying incident unfold.
“Next thing I see this guy jumping over the car, over the bonnet … he had a knife in his hand,” the man said.
“He had a bit of blood on his shirt.
“There were police, people with their phone out, there were fireys trying to contain him.”
Witnesses say a fireman from a truck that happened to be at the scene leapt out with an axe in a bid to apprehend the man.
A NSW Fire and Rescue spokesman confirmed a crew was in the area and assisted police.
More to come.
