The man who fatally stabbed six people at a Sydney shopping centre might have been targeting women, police have said.

Joel Cauchi, 40, killed five women and a male security guard at a Westfield shopping centre in Bondi Junction on Saturday afternoon before being shot dead by a female police officer. On Monday morning, New South Wales Police Commissioner Karen Webb was asked by the Australian broadcaster ABC about footage of the massacre that appeared to show Cauchi targeting women.
