The suspect was shot and hospitalized after attacking New York police officers just outside a high-security zone set up near New Year’s Eve celebrations in Times Square, authorities said.
Three New York City police officers were injured after being attacked with a machete near New Year’s Eve celebrations in Times Square, authorities said.
Multiple law enforcement officials told NBC News they were looking into whether the suspect had previously posted what they called jihadist writings online and traveled to New York to target police on New Year’s Eve. Mayor Eric Adams told the news conference that he had spoken to one of the wounded officers. “He understood that his role saved lives of New Yorkers today,” Adams said.
