Another victim of the Bondi terror attack, a young police officer, was recently seen at home, marking his first Christmas after spending nearly two weeks in the hospital. The officer, Probationary Constable Jack Hibbert, who was blinded in the line of duty, received a heartwarming visit from Sydney Roosters captain James Tedesco. During the visit, Tedesco presented Hibbert with a signed Redcliffe Dolphins jersey, a gesture of solidarity and support.

Constable Hibbert, who had only been serving in his role for four months, was critically injured while on patrol at the Hannukah event. His dedication and bravery have since resonated deeply within the community and among his colleagues.

NSW Health has provided updates on the conditions of both men, as the community rallies around them in support and hopes for their recovery.

In an update issued by NSW Health,;

  • One patient is in a stable condition at Prince of Wales Hospital.
  • One patient is in a critical but stable condition and one patient is in a stable condition at St George Hospital.
  • One patient is in a critical condition, two patients are in a critical but stable condition and one patient is in a stable condition at St Vincent’s Hospital.
  • Three patients are in a stable condition at Royal Prince Alfred Hospital.
