Hero cop Amy Scott who shot Bondi Junction stabber is diagnosed with rare and aggressive breast cancer
The police officer who single-handedly stopped the murderous stabbing spree in Westfield Bondi Junction has been diagnosed with a rare and aggressive form of breast cancer.
NSW Police Inspector Amy Scott ran to the fifth level of the Sydney shopping centre last year after being alerted that a man was on a stabbing spree.
She confronted Joel Cauchi and fatally shot him in the chest when he refused to drop the knife.
A fundraiser has been set up to help Inspector Scott and her family during her battle with the disease by NSW Police Legacy.
‘Our beautiful friend and colleague, Inspector Amy Scott, has recently been diagnosed with a rare and aggressive form of breast cancer,’ the fundraiser said.
‘Beyond her dedicated service to the community, Amy is a devoted wife, a loving mother of two young boys, and has a family who depend on her and walk this journey beside her every day.
‘She is every bit the remarkable human you would think. She is fiercely independent and the first to champion others.’
‘Whilst she is being well supported by her family, friends and colleagues, Amy has a long uphill battle ahead to beat this insidious disease.
