Australian authorities reportedly used a police vehicle to ram a car in Liverpool, a suburb of Sydney, in an effort to disrupt what was described as a suspected second violent plot in the country within days, according to multiple reports, as reported by The Daily Caller.

Video and photographs circulating online showed a police Land Cruiser crashed into another vehicle as heavily armed officers escorted several men with zip-tied hands to sit or kneel against a wall.

The incident unfolded as law enforcement agencies responded to intelligence indicating a possible “violent act” was being planned.

According to a statement from New South Wales (NSW) Police, officers from NSW Police, the Australian Federal Police (AFP), and the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation (ASIO) acted on a tip involving a potential threat.

The men inside the vehicle were believed to be traveling toward Bondi Beach, though authorities did not specify the purpose of the trip.

News.com.au reported that five men were arrested following the operation.

NSW Police, however, did not confirm arrests, instead stating that seven men were “assisting police” and that the operation had “concluded.”

Police also said they had not found “any connection” between this incident and the recent deadly attack at Bondi Beach, according to multiple reports.

The police operation came just days after a father-son duo of Pakistani descent carried out a shooting at a beachside Hanukkah celebration at Bondi Beach.

That attack killed at least 15 people and injured more than 40 others. An unarmed civilian intervened during the attack and helped stop the gunfire.

As the Liverpool incident unfolded, Bondi Beach remained under heightened scrutiny.

The development also coincided with the funeral of Matilda, identified as the youngest victim of the Bondi Beach shooting, who was laid to rest elsewhere in Sydney.

Australia has remained on high alert following the Bondi attack.

AFP Commissioner Chrissy Barrett announced that authorities were conducting “further search warrants” and pursuing “ongoing investigations into … hate preachers” as part of efforts to prevent additional violence.

Australia has maintained strict firearm laws since the 1996 Port Arthur massacre in Tasmania.

Under those laws, firearms are restricted to applicants who can demonstrate what authorities define as a “genuine reason,” a legal term that does not include personal protection.

Despite those restrictions, Sajid Akram, who was killed at the scene of the Bondi Beach attack, reportedly possessed a firearms license.

According to the Daily Caller, Akram was not listed on any terror watch lists, despite reported extremist connections involving his son.

Video footage from the Bondi attack appeared to show the use of a shotgun, a firearm category that is specifically prohibited under Australian gun law.

Authorities have not released additional details about the Liverpool incident, including whether charges will be filed or what prompted the initial intelligence tip. Investigations related to both incidents remain ongoing.
