Police in New York fire shots in Times Square after a reported stabbing incident, NYPD says. The reports state that two people are stabbed and are taken to hospital with serious injuries. A woman is then reportedly shot during the incident, and her condition is described as unknown in one account.
The incidents are described by both outlets as occurring during what police characterize as a “knifepoint robbery” or a robbery involving a knife. The Mirror adds that shots are fired at a woman in Times Square. The Daily Express focuses on the police action following the two injuries and notes that details of the woman’s condition are not currently clear. Across the accounts, both refer to the same general sequence: stabbing injuries, rapid hospital transport, and police firing after the confrontation.
Authorities have not been described as providing further specifics in the supplied excerpts, including motive or whether any suspect is in custody.
