The brave police officer chased after the assailant before he turned on her and raised his knife.

When confronted by the knifeman, the inspector fired a valley of shots, killing the offender.

She was then seen performing CPR on the victims of the knife attack, as well as on the suspect, as she waited for backup to arrive.

Police Association of NSW boss Kevin Morton has revealed that inspector Scott doesn't consider her actions to be heroic.

"Amy is content with what she had to do," he said.

"She knows she has been tagged a hero but to her she was doing her job."

When speaking to Mr Morton, Inspector Scott admitted that she didn't get much sleep following the horror ordeal.

After the shooting, she was separated from her colleagues to be taken for a gun residue test before another officer drove her home.

She is yet to be formally interviewed as part of the investigation into the deadly stabbing.

Mr Morton said: "I didn't ask her about the exact incident, because she is yet to be formally interviewed.

"Everyone will be keeping an eye on her obviously, there will be a lot of support from everyone."

Police minister Yasmin Catley spoke with Inspector Scott on the day of the attack.

She thanked the hero cop for her bravery on behalf of NSW and the government, and has labelled the officer as "humble".

Ms Catley recalled Ms Scott saying: "It wasn't just me, there were a whole lot of bystanders assisting and helping people."

Inspector Scott has been hailed a "hero" by the public and the Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese.

He said: "There is no doubt she saved lives through her action and it is a reminder that those people who wear uniform are people who rush to danger, not away from it and I give thanks to every one of them for the actions they have taken up to now."
