A knife-wielding individual was fatally shot during a police chase in New York City after entering a police station and injuring an officer in the face with a 14-inch blade, officials reported Sunday.

The incident occurred just before 5:30 a.m. at the 73rd Precinct located in Brooklyn’s Brownsville area when a person entered through an employee entrance, NYPD Chief of Patrol Philip Rivera informed reporters at a briefing.

When a female officer intercepted the individual and instructed him to exit and re-enter through the main entrance, he brandished “a large butcher knife” and attacked her face, Rivera stated.

The female officer resisted the assault by the knife-wielding suspect, who then exited through the back of the precinct. An officer deployed a taser as the suspect fled, but the device failed to incapacitate him, Rivera noted.

The officer who was slashed in the face was treated at a hospital, where she is recovering and in “good spirits,” Rivera said.

“This situation could have turned out very differently,” he said. “This is the risk that every NYPD officer faces every single day.”

Rivera said investigators had a tentative identification on the knife-wielding man, but could not immediately release it to the public.

Police said the incident remains under investigation.
