""Our officers were confronted with an armed individual who had already injured multiple people and was continuing to pose a threat. They gave clear commands. They attempted to de-escalate. And when that threat did not stop, they took decisive action to stop it and to protect New Yorkers on one of the busiest train platforms in the city.""
""The three stabbing victims - an 84 year-old male, 65-year-old male and 70-year-old female - sustained injuries that were not thought to be life-threatening. One man sustained significant lacerations to the head and face, the other man had similar injuries and an open skull fracture and the third victim had a laceration to the shoulder.""
A man wielding a machete attacked three individuals at the 42nd Street-Grand Central subway station in New York City. Police responded to reports of stabbings and encountered the suspect, who was behaving erratically and refused to drop his weapon despite multiple commands. Officers shot him when he advanced with the machete. The victims, aged 84, 65, and 70, sustained non-life-threatening injuries. The attacks were deemed random, and the suspect had prior arrests.
