Ashlee Good, 38, passed her injured baby girl to bystanders soon after being wounded, eyewitnesses said.

"The mum got stabbed and... came over with the baby and threw it at me and [I] was holding the baby," one man told Nine News.

The nine-month old had surgery and is doing well, the family said.

Just after 15:00 local time on Saturday, Joel Cauchi, 40, caused panic as he attacked shoppers with a large knife, sending crowds running for the exits.
