A maniac slashed three elderly people with a machete in an unprovoked attack and was fatally shot by cops at Grand Central Terminal Saturday morning — causing mayhem that sent commuters fleeing the iconic station, police and witnesses said.

An 85-year-old man and a 65-year-old man were slashed in their heads on the 4, 5, 6 subway platform at at 9:50 a.m., police said. A 70-year-old woman was also slashed, but it wasn’t clear where on her body, cops said.

Two NYPD detectives confronted the 44-year-old and told him to drop the machete.

He ignored their commands and was shot three times, according to police sources.

The victims were taken to local hospitals in stable condition, cops said.

The slasher was taken to Bellevue Hospital and was pronounced dead a short time later, cops said.

He wasn’t immediately identified but was known to the NYPD and had numerous prior arrests, including for menacing with a sharp object, police sources said.

The two officers, who were working overtime in the subway, were also taken to the hospital for treatment of tinnitus, cops said.

Wow.

Just in time to fight in a crusade against armed, violent Islamists. Just like old Britain.

Griffin was taken to Bellevue Hospital and was pronounced dead a short time later, cops said.

He has 13 prior arrests, including one for menacing with a sharp object, police sources said.

The two officers were taken to the hospital for treatment of tinnitus, cops said.

Mayor Zohran Mamdani said in a post on X that he was “grateful to the NYPD for their quick response and for preventing additional violence.”

Mamdani is DEEPLY saddened. But he feels better since he ordered the cops be arrested.

Wait!! Doesn't Mandami the commie require a Social Worker to handle these situations??

Especially since the perp appears to check all the boxes for a Democrat mayoral candidate.

Mostly peaceful stabbing, you bigot! Thankfully, NYC made it illegal, IIRC, to carry on the subway. Wouldn’t want anyone getting hurt while trying to slash you with a machete!
