A New York City police officer on an anti-looting patrol was ambushed Wednesday in Brooklyn by a man who walked up behind him and stabbed him in the neck, police said. According to police, the alleged assailant was shot and two other officers suffered gunshot injuries to their hands in the ensuing struggle.

All three injured officers were expected to recover. The man who attacked them was shot multiple times and was hospitalized in critical condition, said Police Commissioner Dermot Shea. The bloodshed happened just before midnight in the hours after an 8 p.m. (00:00 GMT) curfew that was intended to quell days of unrest over the death of George Floyd in Minnesota.
