A man was shot and killed by Australian police Wednesday night after witnesses said he threatened officers with scissors and told cops to "shoot him" during a brief standoff at a Sydney train station.
Police were called to Sydney's Central Station just before 6:45 p.m. local time for a report of a robbery, news.com.au reported. When they arrived, they discovered a man who was reportedly acting violently inside a nearby flower shop.
Video taken by bystanders shows the man charging toward the two officers before he was shot.
