This is happening waaay too often! Whether it’s the meat cleaver or machete, Muslims seem to favor using large knives to attack. The reason for this attack by a Muslim (the media is calling him a “disturbed person” )is ridiculous. I think this guy must think he’s still in the Middle East where this might be the way they handle “situations”:
The suspect, identified as 32-year-old Akram Joudeh, was reportedly angry over a parking boot he found on his car.
And this shocker:
Two law enforcement officials identified the suspect as 32-year-old Akram Joudeh of Queens, who has 15 prior arrests, including one on August 27 after he was found carrying knives near a synagogue.
MIDTOWN, Manhattan — A man wielding a meat cleaver was shot by police after attacking two officers, injuring them in busy Herald Square Thursday during rush hour, police sources said.
The attack happened just before 5 p.m. in the area of West 32nd Street, between Sixth and Seventh Avenue in midtown.

REMEMBER 2 YEARS AGO:
Two years ago, a hatchet-wielding man ambushed a group of NYPD officers in Jamaica, Queens, gashing a rookie policeman in the head with the 18-inch axe. Two other officers shot and killed the suspect, Zale Thompson, on the street.
