Suspect brandishing a meat cleaver shot by police in midtown Manhattan; Two officers injured; Detective gashed 'temple to jaw'

A man armed with a meat cleaver who allegedly confronted two police officers Thursday near Penn Station in midtown Manhattan was shot but not killed during the incident. Injuries to the police officers were not life-threatening, thankfully.

The suspect, who boasts a long record of arrests, has been identified as Akram Joudeh of Queens.

ABC7 reports that the man is in critical condition, while one officer was treated for a laceration and other with a possible graze wound.

The New York Post is reporting that the suspect became enraged after he found that his car had been booted, then approached an off-duty detective while waving meat cleaver. The one officer’s graze wound was reportedly from another officer’s bullet.

Update:

Ouch — the detective who approached Joudeh as he messed with the car boot reportedly suffered a 6-inch gash from his jaw to his temple.

Time for the police to go on preemptive defense over how many shots they should have fired to stop a man who had just cut a detective’s face with a meat cleaver.
