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.

Coulter’s rule.

Machete = probably Haitian.

Machetes and hammers are the weapons of choice for Haitians.

The attacker is black.....$10 says none of the victims were.

[T.B. Yoits]

Yeah, calling cops "first responders" is a dangerous lie to the public.

YOU are your first responder. The government doesn't want you to know and accept that.

Shot to death?!

___________

Maybe they should use some nonlethal methods?
Some therapy session?
Mayor Mamdani is investing in that!

$10 says none of the victims were [black].

I'd bet at least two of the victims were Asians.

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

To be hit 3 times there must have been 40-50 shots fired.

To be hit 3 times there must have been 40-50 shots fired.

17, 34, or 51 shots. (One, two, or three 17-round magazines).

Fortunately, apparently no one had a seeing-eye dog with them or that would also have been shot.

Only info I see about the victims is theyv were elderly 60, 75 and 80.....which makes it even more cowardly.

In my state attacking anyone 65 or older comes with an extra charge of elderly abuse.....I doubt ny protects their older folks that well.

[thinden]

so what will the cops be charged with?

[T.B. Yoits]

Machetes and hammers are the weapons of choice for Haitians.

Sure, for cannibals to cut and tenderize the "long pork".

"What a screwed up country we have."

It's not the United States so much as it is the small percentage of morons and maniacs who make it look bad. The best of us greatly outnumbers the worst and we're undergoing long-awaited change(s) for the better.

You should be able to sue the police for negligence.
