Police in the Australian state of Queensland have fatally shot a man after he stabbed another man and threatened a woman in the early hours of Tuesday morning.
The Queensland Police Service (QPS) said in a statement that officers responded to reports that a man had been stabbed in the neck by another man on a street in the town of Caboolture, 40 kilometers north of Brisbane, around 3:42 a.m. on Tuesday.
The armed offender fled the scene on foot, the QPS said, and was found a short time later threatening a female member of the public.
An officer shot the man, who died at the scene.
The man who was stabbed was transported to hospital in a serious condition and the woman was not physically injured.
The QPS said that the matter is under investigation.
