NYPD cop slashed in the face by madman in precinct as officers fatally shoot attacker after chase

A female NYPD cop was slashed in the face in Brooklyn Sunday morning by a madman who was trying to get into a police precinct by the back door, sources said.

Officers chased attacker and opened fire, killing him, according to law enforcement sources.

The attack happened after the man tried to enter the 73rd Precinct in Brownsville via an employee entrance about 5:15 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, sources said.

Her head wound is described as minor.

The attacker, a man in his 40s, was then chased down the street by officers, before brandishing a knife and charging at cops outside a housing project near East New York Avenue and Amboy Street.

He was shot by two officers and rushed to Brookdale Hospital in Brooklyn, where he died on arrival, source said.
