Summary

A man was shot by officers after stabbing an NYPD officer on an anti-looting assignment in the neck, officials say.

According to a statement by commissioner Dermot Shea, officers positioned on Church Avenue and Flatbush Avenue to prevent looting just before midnight on Wednesday were attacked when video surveillance shows the suspect “walk up to the officers casually, take out a knife and stab one of the officers in the neck.”

The officer was transported to a nearby hospital where he was listed in stable condition.

Police officials say that other officers nearby heard shots fired from the location and rushed to the scene. Those officers reported that the suspect had a gun, believed to be an officer’s service weapon.

Gunfire was exchanged and the suspect was struck multiple times. He was taken to a nearby hospital where he was listed in critical condition. Two officers were shot in the hand.
