On 13 August 2019, lone attacker Mert Ney committed the murder of Michaela Dunn, who was alleged to have been involved in sex work in her apartment.[2] After the murder of Dunn, Ney walked onto York Street, indiscriminately stabbed Linda Bo with a kitchen knife, then proceeded to jump onto random vehicles, yelling profanities and threatening civilians. After an approximate 150 metre chase through the CBD following the stabbing of Linda Bo, Ney was restrained by civilians using assorted furniture.[3] Ney's lawyers defended the charges against him on the grounds of mental illness,[4] and he was sentenced to 44 years in prison in May 2021.[5]
