##### 2021 Dunedin Countdown stabbing
# A man stabs and injures four people in a Countdown supermarket in Dunedin, New Zealand. He was also injured and is currently hospitalised. 

New Zealand police say four people have been injured, three critically, in a stabbing attack in a Dunedin supermarket, but the "selfless" actions of shoppers may have prevented more people from being attacked.
