澳洲城市阿得雷德(Adelaide)最大購物中心「Westfield Marion Shopping Centre」23日下午發生有人持武器追逐的事件,購物中心隨即發佈警報進行疏散封鎖。依據社羣平臺流傳的影片,可見武裝警力衝進商場內部,數十名顧客試着逃生躲避。

衛報、SBS等報導,警方在23日當地下午接獲通報,得知有兩羣年輕男性在購物中心的美食廣場區域鬥毆,有人持棍棒,外傳還有人拿刀。依據社羣平臺X流傳的畫面,當時有整羣年輕男性在商場內追逐。商場隨即啓動應對機制,除了發佈警報疏散,內部的大型數位看板也明顯寫着購物中心內部有武裝分子。

這狀況引發商場內部民衆的恐慌。現場一名在看電影的目擊者宣稱,得知有緊急情況發生後,有人走出電影院確認情況,接着突然間,有人大喊快跑,接着大家站起來朝緊急出口狂奔。

警方派出巡邏隊到商場搜查,但至今未找到涉案團體,整起案件仍在調查中。已知有一名70多歲婦女肩膀部位受傷,另名30多歲的民衆膝蓋受傷,預計商場將會在24日恢復正常營業。
