Steven Lin, a former dentist facing legal troubles, attacked two women with a knife before being fatally shot by police after Tasers failed to subdue him, police said.
- On Tuesday, Dr Steven Lin, 41, was shot dead by NSW Police in Potts Point after officers responded to St Neot Avenue about 10.50am following reports an armed man attacked two women.
- Family sources and court documents show Lin, once a prominent dentist and author, had a methamphetamine-fuelled decline and faced multiple charges in recent years.
- Officers report Tasers were deployed but failed to subdue Lin before he lunged at police with a knife, after attacking two women in the St Neot Avenue building.
- Police declared a critical incident and homicide squad detectives will lead a probe overseen by the Professional Standards Command and Law Enforcement Conduct Commission.
- He was due to face court in March over breaches of an AVO, amid wider police scrutiny after another NSW police shooting on Tuesday.
