Shocking moment stabbing victim pleads for help on quiet Australian street: 'I'm going to die'
Confronting neighbourhood CCTV footage has captured the moment a man ran door-to-door down a quiet street, begging for help after he was stabbed in the back. Neighbours in Adelaide 's inner-north suburb of Devon Park were woken just after 4am on Monday by a man yelling for help. One doorbell camera from a home on Bedford Avenue captured the man running with his pants around his ankles, clutching at his back as blood poured from his leg. 'I'm going to die, I'm going to die,' the man screamed. In other CCTV footage, the man was heard yelling for someone to 'call an ambulance' as he hobbled down the street. Eventually, a number of residents who heard his desperate pleas for help left their homes to assist the injured man. The residents immediately called Triple-0 and tried to stop the bleeding while they waited for emergency services to arrive. When police arrived at the scene at 4:30am, they found the 28-year-old with multiple stab wounds to his leg, chest, and back. The man was taken to the Royal Adelaide Hospital in serious condition; however, police confirmed his injuries were not life-threatening. Detective Acting Chief Inspector Jeff Lang said on Monday that the man owed his life to the neighbourhood's Good Samaritans. 'Luckily he came to an address where somebody was willing to help. If that didn't occur, then this could have been a very different press conference,' Mr Lang said. Mr Lang said police did not know what type of weapon was used but believed it was 'some kind of bladed weapon'. He added that the 28-year-old was known to police, with investigators believing the stabbing was a targeted attack. 'The behaviour in this attack indicates to police that those involved are known to each other,' Mr Lang said. 'The community should be reassured that we believe this is an isolated incident. 'I want to reassure the community that while this type of attack is serious, we will respond rapidly and appropriately to ensure those involved are placed before the court.' Neighbour Raymond Griffiths explained that he heard the commotion, which was out of character for the area. 'It's normally a quiet area, not much happens here but last night it was different, so one can only hope he's all right,' Mr Griffiths told The Advertiser. 'Yes it's upsetting anyone's been stabbed. I mean that's upsetting enough but these things are going on all the time now.' The stabbing is believed to have occurred in front of a Devon Park business before the 28-year-old walked 200metres into a nearby neighbourhood for help. Police established two crime scenes, with forensic officers seen examining the evidence on Monday. Detectives closed off a large section of Belford Avenue between Bolingbrook and Berwick roads. Parts of Bolingbrook Avenue and Alexander Avenue were also cordoned off as police traced a long blood trail to determine the exact location of the alleged attack. A pool of blood was also seen at the front doorstep of the home where the man sought help. Anyone with information, dashcam or CCTV footage in the vicinity of Devon Park at 4am on Monday is being urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Man stabbed repeatedly in vicious alleged Adelaide attack
A man has been rushed to hospital with multiple stab wounds after he was discovered bleeding profusely on a quiet Adelaide street. Neighbours in the inner-north suburb of Devon Park were woken by a man yelling for help just after 4am on Monday morning. A number of people left their homes to investigate the cries for help, which CCTV footage shows coming from a severely injured man hobbling down the street. SA Police Detective Acting Chief Inspector Jeff Lang said investigators 'do not believe' the attack was random. 'The behaviour in this attack indicates to Police that those involved are known to each other and that the community should be reassured that we believe this is an isolated incident,' he said on Monday. 'While this type of attack is serious, we will respond rapidly and appropriately to ensure those involved are placed before the court.' Acting Chief Inspector Lang said the police had been unable to interview the victim since he was admitted to hospital, but they were aware the man's injuries were no longer life threatening. 'We are in the early stages of this investigation, and I cannot disclose any more at this time. What we do need, however, is help from the public,' he said. The police have encouraged members of the public who may have information to contact Crimestoppers.

Texas Tech Forces Game 3, Raising WCWS Stakes And Media Value
Sun setting over Devon Park for game two of the WCWS on Thursday, June 5, 2025. In game two of the Women's College World Series, a battle ensued between the Texas Longhorns and Texas Tech that saw the Red Raiders prevail, 4-3. Tech's win forced the if necessary game three, winner-takes-all, must win scenario for the 2025 national title. For most of the game it was a pitching and defensive contest where web gems reigned supreme including ones from Texas Tech pitcher NiJaree Canady, Texas' third baseman Mia Scott, and Red Raiders outfielder Demi Elder. In the first inning Texas singled twice off Canady putting uncharacteristic pressure on the ace pitcher early in the game. However, after the first, Canady only conceded two hits and accumulated four strikeouts in the next four innings. In the bottom of the fifth with two outs, the Red Raiders had the bases loaded after a single from pinch hitter Raegan Jennings, a double from center fielder Mihyia Davis, and then a walk to first baseman Lauren Allred. With the air at its thickest and the nerves at their highest level, freshman relief pitcher Cambria Salmon walked in the first run and then threw a wild pitch for run number two, 2-0 Red Raiders. Texas struck in the top of the sixth off the bat of senior phenom Scott who drilled a ball over the center field fence and brought the Longhorns within one run. Canady had only given up 11 home runs all year until the long ball from Scott. In the bottom of the sixth with runners on the corners, Texas elected to bring in their ace Teagan Kavan from the bullpen after they had used a staff approach of Mac Morgan, Salmon, and Citlaly Gutierrez. Kavan quickly got Red Raider third baseman Bailey Lindenmuth to pop up to center field but an errant throw from Kayden Henry meant another run for Texas Tech, 3-1. The next play saw a routine ground ball bobbled by second baseman Kaydee Bennett and another run notched for Texas Tech, 4-1. Texas finally exited the inning, but down three runs. Texas, a team that is never out of a game made it interesting in the top of the seventh inning when they scored an additional two runs off a double from short stop Leighann Goode and a sacrifice fly from pinch hitter Katie Cimusz but Canady struck out Henry to end the inning and forced game three. The series now moves to the winner takes all third game on Friday, June 6 at 8 pm EST on ESPN/ESPN+. It has been since 2021 that softball fans have seen the championship series head to game three.

The battle continues
Follow our coverage of the WCWS from Oklahoma City as the six remaining teams chase the softball national title Imagn Images Imagn Images Really odd situation, as after a lengthy at-bat, Abigale Dayton just barely tipped a rise ball by Teagan Kavan that popped into and out of the glove of Reese Atwood behind the plate. Dayton was headed toward the dugout, and Tia Milloy ran home on what appeared to be the third out, but the umpires finally came to the conclusion that it was in fact a foul ball. Patty Gasso was getting a little heated talking to the umpire after what has been somewhat of an iffy inning in terms of strike calls by the home plate umpire. It ends up not mattering, as Kavan strands Milloy at third after getting Dayton to pop out to Mia Scott at third in foul territory. What a battle that was. Imagn Images B6 - Texas 3, Oklahoma 2 The Sooners got a runner to third base with one out, but Teagan Kavan got a strikeout and forced a foul out to Mia Scott at third base, and the Longhorns still have the lead. Imagn Images These Oklahoma fans are going WILD at Devon Park right now after a wild pitch by Teagan Kavan sends pinch-runner Tia Milloy to third with just one out as the tying run. But Kavan quiets them really quick after locking up pinch hitter Maya Bland with a rise ball up in the zone. Imagn Images The Longhorns have been hitting Sam Landry HARD all game, with only three runs to show for it. For example, Mia Scott ripped a single up the middle after Henry's homer, and Reese Atwood just smoked a liner toward third ... but right into the glove of Nelly McEnroe-Marinas. That ball popped off Atwood's bat so quickly that Katie Stewart didn't even have time to turn around to go back to first after her lead, ending the inning as she gets doubled-up at first. Texas is back on top!!! What a nice swing by Kayden Henry on a changeup by Sam Landry. Henry sunk into her front leg to really wait on that offspeed pitch and then let her hands do the rest of the work. She pulled that ball down the right-field line, and it was out of here QUICK to give the Longhorns a 3-2 lead. And they just showed her mom crying in the stands after the fact ... I may or may not have shed a tear. For anybody keeping track, Texas coach Mike White is now back in the third-base coach's box. I would pay to be a fly on the wall to see the reasoning behind this. The only other thing I can think of besides trying to pick Sam Landry's pitches is to maybe deter Oklahoma players from picking up on any of Texas' signs, but with arm cards and number combinations, that's not as common in the game anymore. B5 - Texas 3, Oklahoma 2 Wow, that came out of nowhere. Kayden Henry rips a quick shot over the right-field wall, and the Longhorns are back on top. Just like that. B5 - Oklahoma 2, Texas 2 Upon first glance, I was super confused by the fact that it looked like Texas first baseman Joley Mitchell just totally didn't go for that ball hit by Gabbie Garcia. But after seeing that replay, that ball took one of the weirdest hops we've seen all weekend so far. Can't fault Mitchell for that one. Teagan Kavan gets her fourth strikeout of the game on a beautiful curve that just nicks the outside corner to freeze Nelly McEnroe-Marinas in the box. Kavan looks so much more comfortable in the circle than she has in previous matchups against Oklahoma. To Molly's point about the offenses struggling, this feels like we're headed to another extra-inning game unless one of these teams can scratch something across. We saw that last night in the Oregon-Ole Miss game that went 10 innings and lasted four hours. Tavan Keagan and Sam Landry look like they're in complete control of these two offenses. After the Longhorns stranded two more runners in the bottom of the fourth, that's now nine total runners left on base between both teams in this game. With runners in scoring position, both Oklahoma and Texas are batting 1-4. Imagn Images T5 - Oklahoma 2, Texas 2 That being said, however, some of Sam Landry's changeups this inning have been nasty . If I'm a Texas hitter, I don't want anything to do with that pitch until there are two strikes in the count. They haven't been calling it, but Oklahoma's Sam Landry has been stepping out of the pitcher's lane (the two white chalk lines extended from the mound in the circle). That is considered an illegal pitch, but so far these umps haven't caught it. On the broadcast, though, it's very clear. If Texas coaches start to catch on and let these umpires know, that can really get in a pitcher's head and mess with her rhythm. Another odd thing that's happening is Texas coach Mike White has swapped from third base to first base coaching while the Longhorns are on offense. It appears he's trying to see if he can pick one of Landry's pitches to help his batters out to let them know what to look for to expect what's coming, but they've now also switched third-base coaches. I wonder what's going on in that dugout. B4 - Texas 2, Oklahoma 2 For as much as we've praised these offenses, there has not been an extra-base hit in this game. As my dad always says, it's time to "wake up the bats." I think the fans at Devon Park – probably mostly Oklahoma fans – are ready to explode after not seeing any homers since Tennessee's back-to-back shots in yesterday afternoon's matchup. B4 - Texas 2, Oklahoma 2 Teagan Kavan remains in control. She has three strikeouts and has allowed just one earned run through the first four innings. Imagn Images Rise balls are the hardest pitches to bunt, especially if it is as elite as Teagan Kavan's. The Sooners are trying to get a rally going, but Bella Emerling popped that attempt straight up to third base. One of the worst feelings as a player, to be so honest. Imagn Images T4 - Texas 2, Oklahoma 2 Similar to last night's matchup between Ole Miss and Oregon, a lot of these speedy batters are getting on quickly and then are left stranded on the bases. It's considerably harder for offenses to score runs with two outs based on just statistics alone, and so far neither team has been able to put up more than two runs so far in this one. Still a lot of game left, but at some point one of these explosive offenses has to break through. One player I'm still waiting to break out for Texas at the WCWS? Reese Atwood. She's the Longhorns' power bat, but we haven't seen one leave the park yet from the Longhorns catcher. B3 - Texas 2, Oklahoma 2 Teagan Kavan's rise ball is on another level right now. She has been getting some of these Sooners hitters to chase way up out of the zone. T3 - Texas 2, Oklahoma 2 That was a GREAT play by OU first baseman Cydney Sanders to step on first and make a clean throw to Gabbie Garcia at second base, who lays the perfect tag on Katie Stewart, erasing a leadoff walk. The broadcast just showed that Oklahoma already has six double plays this tournament, tied for the most by any team.
