NSW man allegedly stabs victim with scissors, gets shot and then swims away from police
Briefly

In a dramatic turn of events, a 33-year-old man, who was allegedly shot after stabbing another man in Wagga Wagga, attempted to evade police by swimming across the Murrumbidgee River. Following the violent altercation in a park, he was found in the river but refused police attempts to rescue him, leading to a 12-hour standoff before his arrest.
The incident began with a stabbing where the man, 33, allegedly used scissors to stab a 42-year-old victim in the neck. This led to a chaotic sequence of events which included being shot by an unidentified assailant. The police found him a distance away in the river, and his refusal to cooperate catalyzed a significant police operation.
