NYPD officers shot and critically injured a man who reportedly advanced toward them with a knife Sunday while he was having a mental health crisis, police said.
The man's father told 911 operators that his 42-year-old son was having a "medical episode" and thought he was being followed and persecuted. He also told his father that if any cops showed up he would kill them, according to police.
When police officers arrived, the man and his father met them outside. Police said the man became agitated and advanced toward them with a knife. The man was taken to a nearby hospital and is believed to be in critical condition, police said. No further details on how many times the man was shot or how many officers fired their guns, were given. BREAKING NEWS
