Called Himself Lucifer 0 7

Police shot a man who went on a machete rampage at New York's Central Station, reports the portal "Duty Officer in America."

44-year-old Anthony Griffin attacked three elderly passengers with a machete right on the subway platforms, according to the New York Post. The victims of the attack were an 85-year-old man and a 65-year-old man with head injuries, along with a 70-year-old woman. All three were hospitalized in stable condition.

Two detectives who were working overtime on transportation duty that day approached the naked attacker and demanded he drop his weapon — he did not comply and called himself Lucifer. The police opened fire, firing three shots.

Griffin was taken to Bellevue Hospital, where he soon died. It later emerged that he had 13 prior arrests, including for making threats with a deadly weapon.

Mayor Zohra Mamdani thanked the police for their prompt response and promised to release body camera footage.
