- Anthony Griffin, 44, was shot dead by police after attacking three people with a machete at New York's Grand Central Station on Saturday morning.
- Griffin reportedly referred to himself as “Lucifer” during the incident, while friends stated he had been “fighting demons for a while” and was not typically violent.
- Police confronted Griffin, who refused to drop his weapon despite being told to do so 20 times, leading an officer to fire two shots.
- The three victims, an 84-year-old man, a 65-year-old man, and a 70-year-old woman, sustained non-life-threatening injuries, including lacerations to the head, face, and shoulder.
- New York Governor Kathy Hochul thanked officers for their quick action, and an investigation into the incident, which was captured on body-worn cameras, is ongoing.
