The deadly encounter took place in Jamaica, on Jamaica Ave. near 160th St., when the man attacked four cops, police sources said. He swung a hatchet at the officers, hitting two of them, one of whom was dealt a severe head wound. Two cops then shot the man dead. A female bystander was hit in the back and was initially listed in critical condition but was expected to survive.
A man armed with a hatchet who attacked a group of cops on a Queens street, critically injuring one of them, was shot dead by the officers on Thursday afternoon, and a female bystander was hit by an errant round.
The attack took place about 2 p.m. in the heart of Jamaica's shopping district, and NYPD investigators, police sources say, have not ruled out the possibility the culprit sought to commit an act of terrorism.

Sorry bud, but that IS a hatchet, and most definitely not an axe. Have you ever seen/held an axe or a hatchet?
“Not what the cops expected when the perp said can I axe you something??”

I’m so upset over this incident I did not want to laugh at your joke.
Well,I laughed at your joke.
.
Ya this is a laughing matter. /s
Definitely a hatchet.
So NY is dealing with hatchet terrorist attacks and Ebola tonight. How’s those open borders working for you?

Yep....knifes and hatchets seem to be weapon of choice.
Sounds like she has a lawsuit to file, but the city will probably settle out of court for medical expenses incurred only.
Yeah - and what I saw him swinging on the surveillance footage was an AXE!
I think we can expect many more of these lonewolf attacks in our future. Carry On!!!
Is it common place for some guy to ask 4 cops to pose for a picture like that? My first thought was, wait a minute, was HE distracting them for the terrorist? Or am I just getting paranoid?
from the pic I can see why Slump Tester thought it was more of an axe. It looks a bit longer, especially since it looks like he has a two-handed grip on it, when that’s probably not the case.
But axe or hatchet... In the larger picture it doesn’t really matter. Either way it’s a fearsome weapon. In the hands of someone who knows how to use it... Very difficult to defend.
The fundamental transformation of America.
This is what happens when you bring a hatchet to a gun fight.
You really can't tell the difference between the two can you.
A hatchet job!
Something worth shooting once, is certainly worth shooting again...
Then...
Reload...
BTW, was there any testimony given to the words, if any, spoken by the Axe-man???
Something along the lines of “Alluha Akbar”, or something like it???
According to the president, that would make it easier to classify this a workplace violence, a “senseless act” and “tragic”...But no where near terrorism conducted by Islamic radicalized muslims...Oh noooooooo, can’t have that...
“hero of Benghazi”
Ha ha ha ha aaaaaaaaa!
