The 11-year-old girl among them bravely called 911, although there was a glitch in relaying their location to the authorities. New York City Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch reported that officers traced the call to Bensonhurst, entering an apartment where they heard screams. Upon arrival,they confronted a man holding a blood-covered cleaver. He refused to drop the weapon and advanced towards the officers,who then shot him multiple times to neutralize the threat. The swift actions of the responding officers, along with the girl\u2019s timely call, were crucial in saving the victims\u2019 lives. The attacker, identified as 49-year-old Lun Chang Chen, was in critical condition after the confrontation. Neighbors described the chilling scene, noting that two of the girls emerged from the apartment covered in blood. It was also reported that the suspect had a history of mental illness.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Four girls were slashed Sunday in an attack that ended when a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/bloodbath-in-nyc-then-van-plows-into-crowd-in-la-many-injuries-including-children\/\" title=\"Bloodbath in NYC, Then Van Plows Into Crowd in LA - Many Injuries Including Children\">cleaver-wielding man<\/a> was shot by New York City police.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The victims were 8, 11, 13 and 16 years old, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/abc7ny.com\/post\/bensonhurst-crime-4-children-stabbed-meat-cleaver-wielding-man-brooklyn-nyc-home-suspect-shot-nypd-officers\/16135214\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">WABC-TV<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The 11-year-old girl called 911, but there was a glitch.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&ldquo;The 11-year-old caller stated that she and her siblings had been stabbed by her uncle.
