Shocking video shows Crystal Brook cop stabber’s supermarket blow-up, the day before horror incident

Video has captured the supermarket stoush that sent police officers to the front door of a frenzied stabbing attack in a quiet Crystal Brook street.

Video has captured the man who was fatally shot after stabbing two police officers yelling outside a Crystal Brook supermarket, threatening another person before screaming to “leave him alone”.

Brevet Sergeant Ian Todd, 53, and Brevet Sergeant Jordan Allely, 32, were injured by the Symons St resident in a frenzied stabbing attack after attending his home for a welfare check at 10.15am on Wednesday.

It is understood the officers were attending the Crystal Brook house over a domestic complaint about the occupant’s dog, a husky, that had been ongoing.

Police Commissioner Grant Stevens said the call-out related to the incident captured on camera outside the Crystal Brook Foodland on Tuesday.

“There was a minor disturbance at the local supermarket in Crystal Brook and officers were following up as a result of that incident … the (coronial) investigation will provide further detail as to exactly what transpired yesterday and also today,” he said.

A local resident captured video of the supermarket incident involving the man fatally shot by police, showing him yelling at another person outside the Foodland while holding a husky and what appears to be a walking stick.

“You’re the one causing me trouble, (unintelligible) try and do your job,” the man can be heard saying, before yelling, “Leave me alone”.

“I’m sick of arseholes like you whinging about my dog and causing me trouble … don’t tell me what I should do with my life.”

Video captured the man yelling outside the Crystal Brook Foodland on Tuesday.

Crystal Brook resident Tom Sawyer said he witnessed the disturbance out the front of the local Foodland and often used to see the man traversing the town with the husky.

“I was across the road and just heard the man aggressively shouting at someone out the front of the shop,” he said.

“It was about the dog, someone was confronting him about it and he was just yelling that there was nothing he could do about it.”

Mr Sawyer said he had heard the man had threatened someone with a knife.

“I heard that in passing today,” he said. “People would get frustrated with the dog, it would make a lot of noise but I never saw it get aggressive.”

“He was a nice guy whenever I talked to him.

“He’d go down to the shops once a day and then have his lunch under the rotunda … (then) he’d come down again in the afternoon and walk his dog along the trails around town.”

A worker at the Crystal Brook pub said the man had initially “seemed like a nice fella” when he first met him, but things took a turn as his attitude changed.

“We had a karaoke night and he took the crowd away with how he sang,” the worker said.

“But he had a dog that he used to intimidate people.”

Comm Stevens said the officers were still working to identify the man killed in Wednesday’s incident.

“It’s too early to speculate on the specifics around the person who is deceased at the scene … I would not elaborate on the antecedence of that person until we have a positive identification,” he said.

Comm Stevens said Sgt Todd, the officer in charge of Port Germein, sustained life-threatening critical injuries after being stabbed in the neck, arm and hands.

Sgt Allely, officer in charge of Crystal Brook, suffered stab wounds to his right leg and arm.

Both were flown to the Royal Adelaide Hospital – Sgt Todd remains in a critical condition while Sgt Allely is in a serious but stable condition.
