He walks up to the priest, who is holding a cross in his hand and reading a text, pulls out his knife and begins stabbing him in anger, a video shows, as a shocked congregation in a Sydney church lets out a collective scream.
It is the second stabbing incident in Sydney in three days.
The attacker has been arrested, police said.
The video shows people rushing to help the priest and overpower the knife-wielding attacker.
Emergency services said four people were being treated for “non-life-threatening injuries”, AFP news agency reported
According to local media, the incident took place at the Christ the Good Shepherd Church. Every Monday evening the church holds a prayer session.
Police said they began receiving emergency calls from the scene “around 7:10 p.m.” They urged the public to avoid the area.
In the first incident on Saturday, police ruled out terror or ideology as a motive after a man killed six people in a random stabbing at one of Sydney's busiest shopping centres.
