An Australian politician named Helen Haines is fighting for her life after a driver deliberately hit her with a car outside her office. She suffered severe injuries, and doctors had to amputate her leg.
Abrave local barber stopped the driver and took away a knife he had before police arrested him. Police charged a 43-year-old man in connection with the attack. Australian Prime Minister condemned the attack and asked leaders to stop angry political language across the country. People know Haines as a popular politician who works closely with her local community. This terrible event shocked Australians and raised serious worries about safety for politicians who normally meet people easily in public.
