The 57-year-old suspect was first spotted blocking traffic outside the Coney Island DMV, steps from the boardwalk, just before 1 p.m. He wore thick red gloves, police said, and carried a 16-inch machete and a six-inch blade. An “intense, prolonged struggle” broke out, Sewell added, as officers attempted to remove one of the knives from the man’s hand. It was during that scuffle that one of the officers suffered a slashing wound to the thumb. Both the alleged stabber and the officer were hospitalized in stable condition.
"I heard the shots and immediately looked outside and started filming," said the witness, who requested anonymity for fear of police retaliation. "The entire police precinct descended upon this guy."
