2021 Auckland supermarket stabbing
On 3 September 2021 at 14:40 NZST, eight people were injured in a mass stabbing at a Countdown supermarket at LynnMall in New Lynn, Auckland, New Zealand. The attacker, Ahamed Samsudeen, was being followed by police officers, who intervened during the attack, shooting and killing him after he charged at them. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

The incident was treated as terrorism and was "ISIS-inspired" according to Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern.

Mass stabbing
A mass stabbing is a single incident in which multiple victims are injured or killed with a sharp object thrust at the victims, piercing through the skin and injuring the victims. Examples of sharp instruments used in mass stabbings may include kitchen knives, utility knives, sheath knives, scissors, katanas, icepicks, bayonets, axes, machetes and glass bottles. Knife crime poses security threats to many countries around the world.

There are many different factors that could lead to a mass stabbing. This may include social inequality, abuse of alcohol and other drugs, easy access to weapons, social and cultural norms, religious and political reasons, among others.

Many actions have been taken to address mass stabbing and knife crimes. This may include enacting new legislation, social and education programs, medical interventions, among others. However, mass stabbing and similar terrorist attacks carried out by Islamic extremists have resulted in the rise of Islamophobia.
