Three police officers were injured in Brooklyn Wednesday night after what New York Police Department Commissioner Dermot Shea described as a “complete cowardly, despicable, unprovoked attack,” in which the suspect “casually” approached an officer and stabbed him in the neck. Two responding officers were then shot — one in the hand and one in the arm — when the suspect allegedly attempted to wrestle a gun from an officer. While the three officers are expected to recover, the suspect is reportedly in critical condition.
At a press conference Wednesday night, embattled New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio — whose handling of the riots has been strongly criticized by many, including fellow Democrat New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo — opened by announcing that all three officers involved are expected to recover.
