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.

It’s nice to see the cops taking out a little “diversity” and “multiculturalism” for a change.

A female bystander was hit in the back and was initially listed in critical condition but was expected to survive. I'm not sure who is more dangerous, the cops or the axe man.

I never thought I’d see the day when the Islamoterrorists would send in a “hatchet man”.
