NYPD sergeant slashed by machete-wielding madman, two other cops injured arresting suspect
Four NYPD officers were wounded by unhinged New Yorkers in two separate attacks Monday — one involving a machete-wielding madman who slashed a sergeant across the head in Brooklyn.
In the first attack, three cops were sent to t🐟he hospital after responding to a report of an emotionally disturbed man inside an East Flatbush apartment on New York Avenue at around 3:30 p.m.
As officers spoke to family members inside the home near Beverley Road, the 40-year-old allegedly slashed ✨the police sergeant across the side of the h🐭ead with the weapon, police said.
ꦬTwo additional cops were cut in the wrist and shoulder while they put the man under arrest.
The t🍒hree officers were taken to Kings County Hospital in stable condition and the suspect was taken into custod𒈔y, with charges pending Monday night, according to the NYPD.
A little more than an hour later, a fourth NYPD officer was injur🍌ed by another disturbed New Yorker at a Manhattan subway station.
In that incident, an MTA worker flagged down cops after a “disorderly” man who was being combative with a group of teenagers inside the 42nd Street- Bryant Park station at around 4:45 p.m., according to police sources.
T🎶he officers attempted to remove th♏e man from the subway station but he became irate and punched one of them in the left side of the face, cops said.
He was sub🌳sequently arrested and charges against hi💮m are pending.
