Manhattan, N.Y. — On Sunday, August 16, 2026, at approximately 4:02 p.m., a civilian witness called 911 and reported that a person was attacked and bleeding inside a residential apartment building in the vicinity of Rivington Street and Ludlow Street, Manhattan. At approximately 4:06 p.m., Sergeant Burks, Officer Perfetto, Officer Moy, and Officer Teng responded to that location, entered the building, and ascended the staircase. As the officers ascended the stairs. Once on the stairwell leading to the second floor, Officer Teng encountered, 54-year-old Wei Chan and ordered him several times to show his hands. Chan, who was in possession of a cleaver in his right hand, walked toward the stairwell landing. Officer Teng alerted the other officers that Chan was in possession of a knife, as the officers repositioned themselves backwards. As Chan descended the stairs toward the officers, with the cleaver in his right hand, Sergeant Burks discharged four rounds, Officer Perfetto discharged three rounds, and Officer Moy discharged two rounds, all from their service firearms, striking Chan. Chan was taken into custody and transported via ambulance to NYC Health + Hospitals/Bellevue, where he was pronounced deceased. ]]> Sun 06 Sep 2026 14:17:04 +0200 https://theworldwatch.com/videos/1619403/man-armed-with-a-cleaver-fatally-shot-by-nypd-officers/ https://theworldwatch.com/videos/1619352/another-brutal-beating-in-the-heart-of-times-square-nyc/

https://theworldwatch.com/videos/1619246/deranged-woman-shot-by-nypd-after-she-was-running-around-stabbing-people-in-times-sq/ A female stabbing victim and the woman who was shot by police on Monday afternoon in Times Square have died from their injuries.

Police say the woman refused to put the knives down when police approached her. Police fired shots, striking the female suspect, police said. The incident was initially reported as a knifepoint robbery but police now believe the emotionally disturbed person had no clear motive, police said. Police are closing traffic from West 42nd street to West 47th Street as the investigation continues. ]]> Mon 31 Aug 2026 23:27:06 +0200 https://theworldwatch.com/videos/1619247/here-s-the-exact-moment-a-lady-charged-at-nypd-officers-with-two-knives/ https://theworldwatch.com/videos/1619246/deranged-woman-shot-by-nypd-after-she-was-running-around-stabbing-people-in-times-sq/
A woman who attacked people with a knife in Times Square was shot by police, according to law enforcement.

A 33-year-old customer shot in the chest in a Bronx bodega early Tuesday has died, and authorities say the same armed robber seen on video firing at him is linked to another deadly robbery just days prior. Police got a call about the shooting on East 149th Street in the Concourse section of the borough shortly after midnight. The customer was taken to the hospital and initially expected to survive. Details regarding his death weren't immediately clear, and it wasn't known if he was targeted in the shooting. Two days before that shooting, just after midnight Sunday in Brooklyn, police say the same suspect was believed to have been the person who shot two restaurant employees in Brownsville, killing one of them. Investigators were said to be hoping that surveillance footage would aid in their search for a killer. Security video captured the entire 30-second incident in the Bronx. Two customers are in view of the cameras. One is standing at the counter, the other by the deli, looking for something in his backpack. Suddenly, a person in a maroon hooded sweatshirt enters the frame with a weapon drawn, pointing it at the man with the backpack. The person shoots the man, then runs behind the counter to the register, and is seen walking away with fistfuls of cash. He then grabs something from the man's backpack and runs off, though it was not clear what he took. The deli worker behind the counter was back on the job Tuesday evening and said the gunman got away with $400. The man police said they were looking for was identified as 31-year-old Jesus Acosta, who was last seen wearing gray sweatpants, white sneakers, and a maroon hoodie that he ditched about half a block away. ]]> Wed 26 Aug 2026 12:56:44 +0200 https://theworldwatch.com/videos/1619066/customer-shot-in-bronx-bodega-dies-cops-link-gunman-to-restaurant-killing-in-brookly/
