Grand Central in the headlines after a string of NYC transit incidents; historic rail hub at 42nd & Park, southern terminus of Metro-North.
Over the past week, New York City has experienced multiple violent incidents on its subway system. A man has been shot by police after attacking three people with a machete at Grand Central Station, and a separate assault involved a man punching a worker at Rockefeller Center. Police are investigating these incidents as part of a broader pattern of violence.
Video shows detectives ordering an armed suspect to drop a knife at least 20 times at the 42nd Street-Grand Central station; after the suspect advances, one officer fires twice. The suspect dies; three victims are hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries. Police say commands were given and de-escalation attempted.
