AhlulBayt News Agency - A man who appears to support the so-called Islamic State (ISIS) was arrested on Friday afternoon after allegedly assaulting someone with a knife.
Ayman Alkiswani, 50, was allegedly carrying a knife and was reportedly seen loitering outside Kings Cross Police Station in Sydney earlier that day.
He was arrested by Surry Hills police on Bourke Street near the intersection of Oxford Street at about 2pm on Friday and was charged with reckless wounding in company causing grievous bodily harm and affray at 3.30pm, Australia NSW Police confirmed.
According to the Daily Telegraph, NSW Police have been keeping an eye on Mr Alkiswani.
Concerns were raised after he was allegedly seen skulking around a number of police stations around the city 'with no good reason'.
His Facebook page shows his support for the ISIS, with radical propaganda posts announcing his devotion to 'jihad' and 'God'. His friends on Facebook also appear to be radical ISIS supporters and some resemble soldiers on the Middle East frontline.
Mr Alkiswani wrote 'we've got jihad' on November 23 last year and 'I love God' on November 10 accompanied by a series of images including one that depicted IS terrorists marching on Jerusalem.
He also shares many photos of himself holding up his index finger up to the ceiling or sky in what appears to be an Islamic gesture adopted by ISIS militants.
He has also posted photos of lions roaring in front of the Islamic State flag.
Mr Alkiswani was also responsible for setting fire to a Christian street preacher, Paul Sheehan, in Queensland in 2002 in a violent outburst where he doused Mr Sheehan in flammable liquid and threw a match at him while chanting some Arabic words.
He was refused bail and will appear at Parramatta Local Court for a bail hearing on Saturday.
