An officer with Washington's Metropolitan Police Department came under an unprovoked attack Friday from a man wielding an ax, police said, the second such attack in two weeks that is prompting warnings and new protocols to officers on the job.
The attack, and another last week in which a man attacked four New York City officers with a hatchet in Queens, prompted an immediate increase in security for officers in both D.C. and New York. The New York Police Department said in a memo: "Police Officers on patrol should maintain a heightened level of awareness."
The attack in Washington occurred around 3 a.m. as the officer was sitting in his marked squad car in Washington's Brookland neighborhood, near the campus of Catholic University of America, police said.
The officer, who hasn't been identified, wasn't injured by the ax, but he chased the suspect and suffered a shoulder injury in a scuffle before the attacker ran away, police said. No motive is known and the suspect remains at large. Police said he was an African-American man about 6 feet tall and of stocky build.
A photo provided to CNN by a law enforcement official shows the ax implanted in the window of the police car, just inches away from where the officer's head was inside the car.

“I read today that 80% of Muslims in London support ISIS if that support is that high amongst Muslim population in the USA we will have major problems”
America actually has quite a bit of historic experience dealing with primitive, violent, and savage societies.
Once America realizes what Islam is, and what Muslims do, they will play Cowboys & Muslims.
Put your money on the Cowboys.
islamist or islamist facilitator. Just like our so-called _resident.
These jihadists done messed up now. They attacked The Legitimate Authorities. They should have stuck to killing random Americans in “workplace violence”. Now, hacking up one of the “boys in blue”, that’ll get you in heap big trouble. It gives the ruling class the heebie-jeebies, makes them think they’re next.
Now cut that out.
Scuffle? He has already shown intent to murder, shoot his arse.
I’d say this was workplace violence, but we all know that zero work takes place in Washington DC.

Probably a bad idea to approach a cop and say “May I axe you a question.”
Being a cop isn't even on the top ten list of dangerous jobs.
No, it was only a double-action ax.
Nobody expects Sudden Jihad Syndrome
Black dudes get a pass in Øbamastan.
In order to really give a shi’ite I need to know was the attacker a real muzzie and waas the cop a registered Democrat?
It's Allah inspired.
The one in NY was black on white, so I’m guessing Holder-related.
Hmmm. Yeah, I can't think of anything. Not even a guess.
