A major Telstra outage is hitting users nationwide this morning, leaving tens of thousands unable to make calls or send texts. The disruption has also knocked out parts of NSW emergency services’ internal dispatch system. Turning to Queensland a man is still on the run after a violent rampage through Logan, allegedly assaulting a resident and stealing multiple cars at knifepoint. Police are continuing the search this morning as officers warn the public to stay alert. In other news, tonight marks one of the nation’s biggest sporting showdowns, with Queensland and New South Wales facing off for the Origin series. NSW is chasing a tough win on enemy turf, surrounded by a sea of Maroons. And in a separate development, the man accused of climbing the Bolte Bridge in Melbourne and vandalising it is now behind bars. Police say the dramatic stunt ended with a swift arrest. | *Subscribe and 🔔: http://9Soci.al/KM6e50GjSK9* *Get more breaking news at 9News.com.au: http://9Soci.al/iyCO50GjSK
