EARLIER: It's understood the forces of evil are converging on Sydney. NSW Police have commissioned Dominic, a nine-year-old boy with cystic fibrosis to save the day.
Earlier on Thursday morning, Dom was picked up by helicopter from a park near his home in Sydney's southwest and flown urgently to NSW Police HQ at Parramatta.
Upon arriving, Dom was taken to the Special Operations room where police commissioner Andrew Scipione personally handed him his mission: To save Sydney from supervillain Ultron and his dastardly friends.
Top secret ops unfolding at #NSWpolice HQ. #IronBoyAU @MakeAWishAust
Dom's wish is to be the world's greatest superhero, and with the help of NSW Police and the Make A Wish Foundation, today it's going to come true.
After being picked up by helicopter, #IronBoyAU has arrived at Police HQ for a briefing with Asst. Comm. @abcnews
It's believed Hope Joy is being held on an island somewhere in Sydney. It's IronBoy's mission to save her.
