New South Wales Police have launched an investigation into a stabbing attack that killed six people at a busy shopping centre in the eastern suburbs. Police say the attacker was a 40-year-old man suffering from mental health issues and has no links to terrorism.

Sydney residents are still reeling after an attack on one of the city's busiest shopping centres on Saturday ] afternoon, which left six people dead, and several others injured.

Westfield Bondi employee and eyewitness Ayush Singh was working in a cafe when the attack took place. "The processing of that crime scene will continue very clearly. This was a very broad incident. There's a lot of footage already out in the media depicting some of what has occurred. So people would understand, this is a large crime scene. We need to deal with each and every aspect of that crime scene in absolutely minute detail to make sure we get that right. We will do things as quickly as is absolutely practicable, but it will take some time.

Assistant Commissioner Cooke says some of the victims were from overseas and had no relatives in Australia. Speaking to the ABC, New South Wales Health Minister Ryan Park says others checked in voluntarily during the night. "I know many people, because of the number of those that have been killed, may take cold comfort from this fact, but nonetheless it is a fact. And that is that the best in this state confronted one of the worst acts we've ever seen. And we are very very grateful for the men and women that stood up in Bondi Junction in the last day."
