A man has been shot dead by police after reportedly breaking into a home on the New South Wales<\/a> mid-north coast armed with a chainsaw and a knife and stabbing a woman.<\/p>\n

NSW police said officers from the Manning Great Lakes police district were called to a property in Tuncurry just before 6.40am on Friday following reports of a home invasion.<\/p>\n

On their way to the location the officers were told a woman had been stabbed by the man, who left the location in a white 4WD, police said.<\/p>\n

Police said the officers found a 28-year-old woman with serious wounds at the house and that she was treated by paramedics before being flown to the John Hunter hospital in a serious but stable condition.<\/p>\n

The officers pursued the 4WD, which drove through a sports ground before reportedly crashing on the Forster Bridge a short time later, police said.<\/p>\n

Police said the officers went to the bridge where they found the crashed 4WD and were told the man had carjacked another vehicle.<\/p>\n

According to police, the man rammed a police vehicle with the other vehicle, and one officer sustained minor injuries.<\/p>\n

Police said they pursued the man again, with the man driving on to a property and entering a home, still armed with a knife, before attempting to steal another vehicle.<\/p>\n

Police said the man, still armed, came out of the house moments later and confronted the officers who were there.<\/p>\n

They said they then deployed a Taser in an attempt to detain the man but he was able to run to a neighbouring property.<\/p>\n

A Taser was then deployed \u201cmultiple times\u201d before the armed man ran towards an officer who then shot him.<\/p>\n

The officers treated the man but he died at the scene.<\/p>\n

The man was yet to be formally identified but police said they believed he was aged 41.<\/p>\n

Police have begun a critical incident investigation, which occurs when an incident involving a NSW police officer results in the death or serious injury of a person.<\/p>\n

Police said a critical incident team from the state crime command\u2019s homicide squad would lead the investigation into the circumstances surrounding the incident.<\/p>\n

The probe will be reviewed by the police\u2019s professional standards command with oversight by the force\u2019s watchdog, the Law Enforcement Conduct Commission.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A man has been shot dead by police after reportedly breaking into a home on the New South…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":451726,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[4,450,451,3,452,453],"class_list":["post-451725","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-breaking-news","tag-breaking-news","tag-breakingnews","tag-headlines","tag-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/451725","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=451725"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/451725\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/451726"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=451725"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=451725"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=451725"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
