Police shot a machete-wielding man Saturday at Midtown Manhattan’s Grand Central Terminal after he allegedly stabbed three people around 9:50 a.m.
CNN reported that officers responded to the alleged stabbings and confronted the man, ordering him to drop the machete. Instead, the suspect allegedly lunged at officers and they shot him.
PIX11 noted that the three stabbing victims were “an 84-year-old man, a 65-year-old man, and a 70-year-old woman.” All were taken to the hospital and were in stable condition.
The stabbing suspect is in critical condition.
Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) used an X post to describe the stabbing attack as a “senseless act of violence.”
