SYDNEY, Australia — A man who stabbed and critically wounded another man in a park in a Sydney suburb on Saturday was inspired by Islamic State extremists, the police here said on Sunday. Burn said the man was known to the police for other unrelated crimes. “We will be alleging before court this was an act that was inspired by ISIS,” she said. On Thursday, the New South Wales police arrested another man, 18, in an unrelated incident at the Sydney Opera House. He was charged with threatening to destroy or damage property, after the police arrested him outside the well-known music venue.
