New York police officer stabbed, two wounded by gunshot in Brooklyn knife attack

Two police officers were shot and a third was stabbed in New York late Wednesday night, shortly after the 11 p.m. curfew imposed in the city to control violent protests. 

The injuries, among the most recent to police during the nationwide protests, occurred at about 11:45 p.m. in Brooklyn when an officer was reportedly stabbed in the neck. 

Fellow officers responded and a service revolver was discharged in an attempt to arrest the alleged attacker, resulting in one officer being struck by a bullet in the arm and another in the hand. The suspect was also reportedly shot. 

Fox News reports that roughly 200 officers have been injured in the protests in New York City, following the May 25 death of George Floyd, after being arrested by Minneapolis police.
