Chris Hemsworth came to the rescue of a NSW school that was sent into lockdown yesterday.
The actor and his wife Elsa Pataky volunteered to help out in the canteen at the Byron Bay Public School yesterday just hours after the school was thrown into chaos when a teacher was stabbed.
Teacher Zane Vockler, 28, received cuts to his face and arms after a female parent allegedly stabbed him with a pair of scissors at 7.20am yesterday. The school went into lockdown, and the woman was later arrested at her home and will face court today.
Hemsworth and Pataky entered the school after the lockdown was lifted and helped prepare sushi rolls in the canteen with a handful of other parents.
Their three children, India, 6, and twins Tristan and Sasha, 5, all attend the public school.
Pataky shared several videos from the morning on her Instagram and captioned one of them, “Always helpful to have a superhero in the kitchen.”
Members of the community were rocked by news of the incident at the school.
A spokesman for the NSW Department of Education said counselling had been made available to staff and students.
Mr Vockler was transferred to Tweed Hospital in a stable condition to undergo surgery.
Hemsworth is on top of the world thanks to the stellar performance of Avengers: Endgame at the box office.
The Marvel extravaganza became the fastest movie to cross the $US1 billion ($ANZ1.5 billion) threshold, taking in a mammoth $US1.2 billion ($NZ1.8 billion) in its five days around the world.
Endgame is now on track to topple the highest-grossing movie (not adjusted for inflation), Avatar, at $US2.7 billion.
