Four People Were Shot, Including Two Bystanders And An NYPD Officer, After Two Brooklyn Cops Opened Fire On A Suspect Allegedly Armed With A Knife At The Sutter Avenue Subway Station In Brooklyn New York

Four people are shot, including two bystanders and an NYPD officer, after two Brooklyn cops open fire on a suspect allegedly armed with a knife at a subway station in Brooklyn, New York, United States, on September 15, 2024. The two police officers are assigned to patrol the Sutter Avenue subway station in Brownsville, Brooklyn, New York, when they spot a man skip the station turnstile and enter through an open gate toward the train platform. The officers follow the fare-beater up several flights of stairs to the elevated L train platform around 3 p.m. and give him commands to turn around. Police then become aware of a knife. Body-worn camera footage shows the man make a verbal threat to the officers, and a northbound L train pulls into the station. A door opens, and the man jumps inside. Police follow and fire a taser, which is ineffective in subduing the man. He then exits the train while it is still at the station and charges one of the officers with a knife. Both officers draw their weapons and fire at the man, striking him several times. The officers also strike two bystanders and one of the two cops. A female victim is grazed, and a male is struck in the head. The injured officer is hit underneath his armpit, just missing the bulletproof vest. (Photo by Kyle Mazza/NurPhoto)
