Police were called on Sunday evening to a street in the city’s Inner West, where the alleged gunman was firing at random at passing cars and police.
Office worker Joe Azar said he was working across the road when he heard what he thought were fireworks or rocks being thrown at the windows.
“Some guy’s windscreen blew up, then the bus stop glass shattered,” Azar told The Sydney Morning Herald.
“The surreal feeling kicked in like, ‘Oh, this is what’s happening’,” he said. “It was frantic. It all happened so quick, so I couldn’t comprehend what was going on.”
