Why it worked

The video likely performed well due to its dramatic and urgent nature, featuring a real-life emergency situation with a clear human element of a mother saving a life. The "graphic material" warning also creates immediate intrigue.

Summary

A 17-year-old boy who was stabbed sought help from a mother in Earlwood. The mother provided assistance and called for an ambulance. 7NEWS will provide further details on this story later in the evening.
