Briefing reporters at the scene, NYPD Chief Jeffrey Maddrey called it “a tragic situation,” where “officers were put in a life and death situation investigating a crime in progress.” Police were called to the area after a woman saw the man acting erratically in front of the church with a knife in his hand. She alerted a 40-year-old security guard, who approached the man and was allegedly stabbed.
Four hours later, just before 8 p.m., police in the Bronx were called to the elevated subway station on Broadway and West 238th Street after 911 callers described a man with a gun on the platform.
