Officers ordered Anthony Griffin to drop the knife at least 20 times before firing, and three stabbing victims suffered injuries that were not life-threatening.
- The NYPD released bodycam footage showing detectives Ryan Giuffre and Anthony Manetta confronting Anthony Griffin at Grand Central Station on April 11, resulting in the 44-year-old's fatal shooting.
- Randomly slashing three people at the 42nd Street-Grand Central subway station, Griffin prompted officers to confront him while he wielded a machete during the April 11 incident.
- Detectives ordered Griffin to drop the weapon at least 20 times, but he shouted, "Shoot me," and claimed, "I am Lucifer," while moving erratically toward officers with the blade raised.
- Three victims sustained injuries including "significant lacerations to the head and face" and a skull fracture, though Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch said the wounds were not life-threatening.
- The NYPD is conducting an internal investigation into the fatal encounter, while New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani praised the police response after Griffin died at Bellevue Hospital.
