Shoppers and staff at a New Zealand supermarket were being praised for their bravery Monday after authorities said they managed to stop a frenzied man from hurting others after he stabbed four people in a random attack, critically wounding three of them.

New Zealand Police Superintendent Paul Basham said he'd watched CCTV footage of the attack at a Countdown supermarket in the city of Dunedin and the actions of the bystanders in detaining the man until police arrived was "nothing short of heroic."

People in the store at the time told local media that it was a chaotic scene as some people began screaming and running toward the exits while others rushed to help. "Needless to say that such an attack is hugely concerning, and I do want to acknowledge the really early reports of courageous acts by bystanders who have taken action in order to protect those around them," Ardern said. "Our thoughts are with all those affected by this attack.".Health authorities said three of the wounded had been admitted to the intensive care unit at Dunedin Hospital.
