A man wielding a machete stabbed three people on a New York City subway platform before being fatally shot by police, city officials said.

Chief of Transit Joseph Gulotta said the attacks appear to be a random act.

Police fatally shot the assailant after he ignored at least 20 demands to drop the weapon, said NYPD.
