This is like 80s horror films. WTH?!?!

I know who it likely is. These things and stuff like them seem to be their weapons of choice.

If i’m wrong, I dont apologize. Just going with the odds.

Waiting for confirmation that the assailant is a member of the religion of peace.

A dearth of information indeed. Perp should be dead, but isn’t apparently.

He;s an Obama son, no matter WHAT!

[miss marmelstein]

There hasn’t been much crime in midtown for two decades. Thanks DeBlasio! Bringing back homeless, muslims, drug addicts to the borough that brings in the most money.

Hmm, not much info there, either. It is the lack of ID that always makes me suspicious as to who the perp is..

[thinden]

Sounds like something that would be happening in brussels, paris, or germany.

Obammy’s colonization of america is spreading.

What’s next?

Ban meat cleavers?

This is horrible. Both officers suffered head wounds. I hope they are superficial. The assailant was shot and is in critical condition.

Incident apparently occurred when officer was trying to boot a car, presumably the attacker.

"The suspect, identified as 32-year-old career criminal Akram Joudeh, started yelling and screaming..."

OH! A meat cleaver.

For a minute there I thought the Beav may have gone off the reservation OR maybe Ward just got weeweed off and can’t take it any more.

Akram Joudeh identified as NYPD meat cleaver attacker, Wash. Times.

And there it is..

“After a long pursuit by police lasting three or four blocks, the suspect was struck multiple times and was taken to Bellevue Hospital, according to the source, and is listed in critical condition.

He has more than a dozen prior arrests and was upset about a police boot that had been placed on his car, sources said.”

This guy has Arabic videos.

WE NEED FREEPERS TO GET THOSE BEFORE THEY ARE SCRUBBED.
I DON’T KNOW HOW TO DO THAT.
