The incident occurred on West 42nd Street and Seventh Avenue just before 4:30 PM. The woman, armed with at least one knife, stabbed at least two individuals before police arrived. Officers tased and then shot her as she pointed a knife at them, with both the woman and her victims in critical condition. The stabbings do not appear to be terror-related. Bystanders recorded video footage of police rushing to the scene. Authorities are conducting an active investigation and are expected to hold a press conference. The incident is ongoing and updates will follow.  <\/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<article class=\"fn-body\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/police-and-law-enforcement\/\">Authorities<\/a> on Monday afternoon shot a woman near Times Square after she reportedly <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/crime\/\">stabbed<\/a> several people.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The<a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/new-york-city\/\"> New York City<\/a> Police Department told the <em>Washington Examiner<\/em> there was an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/fbi-says-biggest-domestic-terror-threats-in-2021-are-violent-extremists-motivated-by-race-or-anti-authority-views\/\" title=\"FBI Says Biggest Domestic Terror Threats in 2021 Are Violent Extremists Motivated by Race or Anti-Authority Views\">officer-involved shooting<\/a> at West 42nd Street and Seventh Avenue just before 4:30.
