NYC: Muslim Man Attacks Police Officers With A Hatchet

A Muslim man who has been radicalized by ISIS propaganda assaulted a group of police officers with a hatchet in New York City yesterday.

Was it an act of terror or just “Walk Place Violence”?

 

A hatchet-wielding man attacked a group of patrol officers in a busy commercial district in Queens on Thursday, injuring two before the other officers shot and killed him, New York City police said. A bystander was wounded in the gunfire.

The deceased suspect has been identified in multiple reports as 32-year-old Zale Thompson, an apparent Muslim who lived in Queens.

At a news conference at a hospital where one officer was being treated for a serious head wound, Police Commissioner William Bratton said that investigators were still trying to determine a motive.
