A man described as emotionally disturbed was shot by NYPD officers in the Bronx after police said he charged at them while brandishing scissors and a kitchen knife
Chell said the entire interaction between the man and police was captured on police body cameras.
The man, who has not been identified, was injured and taken to the hospital. He was said to be in critical condition, but is expected to survive. Four police officers were taken to the hospital for observation."You should have Tazed him. You guys have Tazers, there’s no need to shoot anyone at all. You don’t need to be shot. Taze the person!" said Iris Rosablanco.
"I see this young man come around the corner and the police yelling at him 'Drop the scissors, drop it!' He had a bladed weapon. He wasn’t charging them. And they shot him three times. We are better than this. This is why we have non-lethal weapons," Bolton said.
