NYPD officers injured in machete attack, suspect shot near New Year's Eve event

A man wielding a machete attacked three police officers at the New Year's Eve celebration in New York City, authorities said, striking two of them in the head before an officer shot the man in the shoulder.

The attack happened a little after 10 p.m. about eight blocks from Times Square, just outside of the high-security zone where revellers are screened for weapons.

Mayor Eric Adams said at a news conference that he had spoken to one of the wounded officers as he was being stitched up at the hospital. An investigation was underway to pinpoint a motive for the attack, but authorities said they didn't believe there was any ongoing threat to the public.
