New South Wales state Police conduct search at the scene of an alleged stabbing at Sydney University, in Sydney , Tuesday, July 2, 2024. A 14-year-old boy dressed in military clothing was arrested after stabbing a 22-year-old student in the neck at Sydney University, police alleged. New South Wales Police Acting Assistant Commissioner Mark Walton addresses the media in Sydney , Tuesday, July 2, 2024.

The boy remained at a Sydney hospital for a mental health assessment the day after the early Tuesday attack, New South Wales Police Minister Yasmin Catley said. “We have to make sure that we wrap services and support around these kids who are being radicalized online and their families,” Catley told Australian Broadcasting Corp.

Police say the boy took a bus from the site of the stabbing to the hospital seeking treatment for a cut on his hand. He was arrested at the hospital. The 22-year-old student who was stabbed once in the neck was discharged from the same hospital overnight, Catley said.Catley said the suspect was charged by police last year and a court dismissed the charges. She added that he had been attending a Department of Communities and Justice program, which news media have described as a deradicalization program.
