The New York<\/a> Police Department (NYPD) said an officer shot and killed a suspect who claimed to be “Lucifer” in Grand Central Terminal and allegedly attacked three people with a machete on a subway platform.<\/p>\n

Officers shot and killed 44-year-old Anthony Griffin after he advanced toward them with a machete, ignoring over 20 warnings to stop, NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch said Saturday at a news conference.<\/p>\n

Officers responded to a 9:40 a.m. 911 call of an assault in progress at the train station. Upon arrival, they found Griffin wielding the machete, police said.<\/p>\n

Griffin was “repeatedly stating that he was Lucifer,” Tisch said.<\/p>\n

After Griffin refused orders to drop the knife, one officer discharged his service weapon and shot him twice, she added. Griffin was transported to a hospital and died.<\/p>\n

Griffin had three prior unsealed arrests but no history of being an emotionally disturbed person, Tisch told reporters.<\/p>\n

The three stabbing victims<\/a> were an 84-year-old male, a 70-year-old female and a 64-year-old male. All three were transported to hospitals and are all in stable condition.<\/p>\n

“Random acts of violence scare everyone. Anyone can be a victim of random violence, and that is why it is so important for New Yorkers to understand that the NYPD has recently upped our presence in the transit system,” Tisch said, adding the NYPD added 175 more officers last month.<\/p>\n

The 4, 5, 6 and 7 trains are skipping the Grand Central Terminal 42nd St. stop while the NYPD conducts an investigation, the Metro Transit Authority (MTA) told Fox News Digital.<\/p>\n
