Eleven victims remain in hospital, five in ICU
The nine-month-old baby, Harriet Good, remains in ‘critical but stable’ condition. Her mother reportedly thrust the bloodied infant to strangers as Joel Cauchi turned on her.
Eleven victims – one baby, eight women and two men – of Saturday’s Bondi Westfield stabbing attacks remain in hospital, after one woman was discharged on Sunday, NSW Health said.
By Sunday evening, five remained in intensive care units in hospitals across Sydney, among whom one was in a “critical” and not stable condition.
Nine-month-old baby Harriet Good is in a “critical but stable condition” in ICU at the Sydney Children’s Hospital after undergoing surgery on Saturday night, NSW Health said.
Her mother, Ashlee Good, died at St Vincent’s Hospital on Saturday night. Dr Good was pushing her baby in a pram when Joel Cauchi stabbed inside the pram, reports said.
NSW Health said one woman remained in a “critical condition” in ICU at Royal Prince Alfred Hospital.
The hospital is also treating a man in a “stable condition” in a ward.
St Vincent’s Hospital is treating two patients in its ICU – one man in a “critical but stable” condition, and one woman in a “stable condition”.
It is also otherwise treating two female victims.
Two women, both in a “stable condition”, are being treated at the Prince of Wales Hospital.
One woman is in a “serious but stable condition” in the ICU at Royal North Shore Hospital.
And one woman is at St George Hospital in a stable condition.
Yvonne Wineberg was discharged from Prince of Wales Hospital on Sunday and is doing well, her family said in a statement. “On behalf of my family, I’m grateful to update everyone that our mum has been discharged from the hospital and is doing well, with a smile on her face,” daughter Bella Wineberg said.
He husband, Nick Wineberg, on Sunday told Sky News she was “lucky to be alive”.
“She went in the other direction … and then sort of said she was against the wall or something, and thought she was safe,” he said.
“Then she felt someone had punched her very hard in the back. She didn’t even see the guy.
“She didn’t know she was stabbed until she turned around and saw the guy with the knife and then she touched her back and there was blood everywhere.”
One of the hospitalised men is a Pakistani citizen, the Pakistani high commissioner to Australia Zahid Hafeez Chaudhri confirmed on Sunday afternoon.
“He is hospitalised but is in a stable condition,” he wrote in a post on X.
“We pray for his fast and full recovery.”
