Another six people have been charged over violent riots outside a Sydney church following the stabbing of a bishop during a live-streamed sermon. The latest arrests take the tally of those facing court due to the ugly melee at Christ the Good Shepherd Church in Wakeley to 29 people. The April 15 riot, which investigators say swelled to involve 2000 people and injured several police officers, followed the stabbing of Assyrian bishop Mar Mari Emmanuel and priest Isaac Royel.
A 20-year-old man was charged with threatening violence to cause fear, unlawful assembly and behaving in an offensive manner. He will also appear at Fairfield Local Court on July 3. A 29-year-old man and a 20-year-old man were charged with similar offences and will both appear at the same court, the first on July 10 and the latter on July 17. The 17-year-old boy was charged with rioting and destroying or damaging property during a public disorder.
