Overview

• Detective Chief Inspector Jason Pye said taxi driver Gary Poland had no legal duty but was 'morally' expected to call sooner, though the 50-minute delay did not alter the police response.
• Rear dashcam from the cab captured children fleeing and screaming, with the first child forced to change direction as the taxi moved off moments after the attacker entered.
• Sgt Greg Gillespie went in within seconds carrying only a baton, joined by PC Luke Holden and PCSO Timothy Parry, and the suspect dropped the knife and was arrested without waiting for firearms officers.
• Members of the public and off-duty medical professionals treated victims and sheltered children, which the senior investigator described as 'bad meeting good.'
• Phone analysis showed the attacker saved the exact venue address and a local taxi contact, and investigators said the trip coincided with the event’s end; inquiry counsel said it appeared he targeted women and girls.
