Machete Attacker Killed at Grand Central

A terrifying random attack at one of New York City's busiest transit hubs left three victims hospitalized in stable condition.

Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch confirmed that officers fired on the suspect after he refused at least 20 commands to disarm.

The victims included two elderly men and a 70-year-old woman, all of whom are expected to survive.

Authorities have stated there is no known link to terrorism, and the investigation into the suspect's background is ongoing.
