Austrailian independent MP Helen Haines run down by crazed man in broad daylight

She has now lost one leg and is at risk of losing her other leg.

This is a deliberate act of home grown terrorism and the only 'weapon' involved was a vehicle, though a knife was found on the man when bystanders subdued him after making multiple attempts to kill Helen with the vehicle.

No gun was involved.

This incident highlights that radicalism takes many forms.
