NYPD Officers Wounded in Machete Attack

Three NYPD officers were wounded by a machete-wielding man in Brooklyn Monday afternoon.

As officers spoke to family members inside the home, the 40-year-old man who was described as emotionally disturbed, slashed the police sergeant across the side of the head with the weapon, police said.

Two additional officers were cut in the wrist and shoulder while they put the man under arrest, the New York Post reports.

The three officers were taken to Kings County Hospital in stable condition and the suspect was taken into custody, according to the NYPD.
