A female NYPD cop was slashed in the face in Brooklyn Sunday morning by a madman armed with a 14-inch butcher knife after he entered a police precinct by the back door, authorities said.
Officers chased the attacker and shot him dead after he refused to drop the knife and lunged at a cop, NYPD Chief of Patrol Philip Rivera said.
The attack happened after the man tried to enter the 73rd Precinct in Brownsville via an employee entrance about 5:28 a.m. When a cop stopped him and told him to go through the front door, he pulled out a knife and slashed her in the face, Rivera said.
