On Sunday in Brooklyn, a man attacked four girls aged 8 to 16 with a meat cleaver before being shot by police. One of the girls managed to call 911, prompting police intervention. All four girls suffered serious injuries but are expected to survive. The attacker, identified as 49-year-old Longqian Chen, believed to be related to the girls, has a history of mental illness. Officials commended the 11-year-old's quick thinking and the police's timely response, which were critical in averting a worse tragedy.
The quick response of the police and the bravery of the 11-year-old who made the emergency call prevented a potentially tragic outcome for the girls.
Commissioner Tisch stressed that the actions of the police, as well as the girl who hid and called 911, were crucial in saving the lives of the children.
