Police Fatally Shoot Man After Stabbings at Grand Central Subway Station

Two officers, detectives assigned to transit overtime posts, were flagged down by a civilian reporting that a man armed with a knife had just stabbed multiple people on the subway platform. The individual was armed with a large knife, described as a machete, and was behaving erratically, repeatedly stating that he was Lucifer. He then advanced toward the officers with the knife extended. One officer discharged his firearm, striking the perpetrator twice. The individual was transported to Bellevue Hospital and he was pronounced deceased.
