Briefly

The article details a brutal stabbing incident in Brooklyn where children and first responders exhibited remarkable courage. An 11-year-old girl made a 911 call reporting that her uncle had attacked her and her siblings. The NYPD leveraged technology to locate the emergency. Upon arrival, officers acted swiftly, fatally injuring the attacker wielding a meat cleaver, ultimately preventing further harm to the children involved.

Once they entered, they encountered a man standing near the entrance holding a large meat cleaver covered in blood and they could see blood on the floor and the walls of the home.
Our officers did not hesitate for a moment. I also want to speak of the heroics of the children involved. The 11-year-old 911 caller, who herself was a victim, hid in a room to call the police.
