Take one knife-wielding SUV driver, suspected of stabbing someone to death in Rhode Island. Take the MTA police, chasing the suspect on Lexington Avenue. Take Monday morning rush hour traffic around 63rd Street. While being chased at around 9AM, the SUV driver crashed into another SUV on East 63rd and hit pedestrians, before driving into a travel office, pinning one of them against a store.
The driver got out and a witness told WABC 7, "He had a knife in his left hand and he was swinging it at the cops, chasing them around his jeep." So the police, after asking him repeatedly to drop the weapon and using pepper spray on him, shot him in the leg and abdomen. WABC 7 also reports that the SUV driver is Joel Noonan, who "allegedly stabbed someone to death Sunday night in East Providence, Rhode Island" and had "made statements to police in East Providence saying he was skilled in martial arts and would never be taken alive."
Seven people were injured. Noonan is in critical condition at Cornell Weill Hospital, most likely under police arrest.

federal crime. crossing state lines. glad they got em, alive. now he can rot in jail.
I hope he's got nice buns so he can make 'friends' quickly in prison. Let's see just how 'skilled' he is in martial arts in there.
I was coming out of the F train on the NW corner of 63rd St, when I heard, rather than saw the accident occur. I then heard someone excitedly yell "He's stabbing him!!" and I looked over as the perp exited his vehicle from the passenger side, and brandishing a knife, starting chasing the cop who was approaching the car door.
Seconds later I see mace spray arcing wildly in the air as the cops retreat from the knife-wielding thug, and a moment later, I hear three gunshots ring out.
The crowd which moments before was gathered around at the corner dispered suddenly, some of them ducking to the ground, most of them running up the block.
And 20 seconds after it all began, there were people who began crying in the street, hugging fellow strangers for moral support.
I'm forever changed.
