Additionally, he attacked a 70-year-old woman, slashing her on the shoulder. <\/p>\nAmid his frightening acts he repeatedly called himself “Lucifer.” Police report this attack occurred at 9:50 a.m. at the Grand Central Terminal on Saturday, April 11. <\/p>\n
The two detectives who confronted and tried to calm Fox 5 down were reportedly working overtime to provide additional transit security. Tisch added in her press conference at the scene of the crime that, “From the top of the stairs, they observed the individual on the platform, and they immediately ordered him to drop the knife.”<\/p>\n
She stated Fox 5 refused to comply “with at least 20 orders to drop the knife.”<\/p>\n
That’s when she says the detectives tried a more compassionate tactic. She says they told him, “We are going to get you help.”<\/p>\n
However, that didn’t work and Fox 5 instead charged at them with the weapon. “One officer discharged his firearm striking the perpetrator twice,” Tisch stated. <\/p>\n
