A sleeping father was unaware he had been stabbed in the neck until he woke in pain following an alleged 'ISIS-inspired attack' in Melbourne.
Roger Singaravelu, a dedicated nurse, was allegedly stabbed by an international student wearing a burqa at his home in Mill Park, north-east of Melbourne’s CBD, about 4.25pm yesterday.
The Bangladeshi suspect, identified as Momena Shoma, who recently moved to Australia and held a student visa, was renting a room at Mr Singaravelu's home and was arrested at the scene over the stabbing.
There were no subsequent threats to the community, AFP acting Deputy Commissioner, National Security, Ian McCartney said.
"We will allege this was a stand-alone, Islamic State inspired attack, designed to cause harm to our community," he said.
