A machete-wielding suspect attacked three people at New York City's Grand Central station before he was fatally shot by police, in a rampage that diverted trains at the nation's biggest rail hub.
The suspect slashed an 84-year-old man and a 65-year-old man about the head and face and left a 70-year-old woman with cuts to her shoulder in the subway platform attack.
Police said the assailant, 44-year-old Anthony Griffin, ignored repeated demands to drop the weapon and called himself Lucifer.
New York Governor Kathy Hochul said "innocent people were attacked in a senseless act of violence".
New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani praised officers for their rapid response and said police body camera footage of the incident would be released.
