"The maniac who was gunned down by New York's Finest after trying to bust into a Brooklyn precinct and slashing a hero cop in the face was a 36-year-old nut with a rap sheet. Justin Coleman, who was last busted on MacDougal Street in April 2024 and charged with assault, was pronounced dead on arrival at Brookdale Hospital following the shocking Sunday morning incident, law enforcement sources told The Post."
"Police said the suspect tried to get into the NYPD's 73rd Precinct stationhouse in Brownsville shortly before 5:30 a.m. - and tried to slash a female cop's throat when she confronted him. The unnamed officer was instead cut in the face, with her attacker then running off with cops on his tail. Police caught up with him outside a housing project about two blocks away, and opened fire when he refused to drop the 14-inch butcher knife and lunged at cops, officials said."
""She could've been killed," Hendry said. "She knew that he was a danger to the people in this neighborhood, and she didn't care that she was injured at that point. "She wanted to stop the threat, and that's what she did," he said. "She made chase along with the other police officers.""
Justin Coleman, 36, with a prior arrest in April 2024, attempted to force entry into the NYPD's 73rd Precinct in Brownsville shortly before 5:30 a.m. He allegedly tried to slash a female officer's throat when confronted and instead cut her in the face. He ran and was chased about two blocks, where officers opened fire after he refused to drop a 14-inch butcher knife and lunged at them. Coleman was pronounced dead on arrival at Brookdale Hospital. The wounded officer, the daughter of two NYPD detectives, suffered cuts to the head and left ear. The Brooklyn District Attorney's Office had not immediately responded to requests for information.
