View Details Riot police have arrived at a church in western Sydney where hundreds of people have flocked following the shock stabbing of an Assyrian preacher, as capsicum spray is deployed and the street descends into mayhem.

The Australian understands Mar Mari Emmanuel, from Christ the Good Shepherd church in Wakeley, and three others are being treated for stab wounds after the alleged attack at the church on Monday night.

In a video, a man dressed in black can be seen approaching Emmanuel at the altar, before allegedly stabbing him in the face with an implement, and then multiple times on his body. At the time, Emmanuel was delivering a sermon to a full congregation.

Parts of Liverpool Hospital have been placed on lockdown after at least one of the stabbing victims was transported there on Monday night.
