‘A taser was deployed to subdue him, and the man was arrested,’ a police statement read.

The man was taken to Bankstown Police Station where he is assisting with police inquiries. 

A large presence of police remains at the school on Hector Street.

The school remains cordoned off as the scene and the Mercedes are forensically  examined by officers.

Salamah College is an independent Islamic co-educational primary and secondary school for students from kindergarten right through to year 12.

More to come.
