A woman was shot by NYPD cops after refusing to drop two knives she was swinging as she approached them in Times Square Monday after stabbing two people nearby, according to witnesses and law enforcement.

The suspect was shot at Seventh Ave. and W. 43rd St. in Midtown shortly about 4:25 p.m. after stabbing two people.

Construction worker Jorge Disla was heading home when he came upon the scene and recorded on his phone the woman swinging a knife in each hand.

“The police tried to speak with her,” said Disla, 57. “They were shouting, ‘Drop the knives!’ But the lady was swinging the knives. She got closer and closer. She swung them closer to the police and they shot her.

The video shows a woman in a pink shirt in a standoff with cops, who surround her outside a police station. She begins to swing the knives as she approaches the officers when shots can be heard and she collapses.

The suspect is in critical condition, a police source said. The condition of her victims was not immediately clear.

Another witness told the Daily News saw the aftermath of the stabbings before police arrived on the scene.

“I was crossing at 42nd St. I saw a guy bleeding profusely from his right leg. He was gushing blood, saying, ‘I need help. Help me,'” said Linda Ruiz, 58.

“I went to get a cop on the corner and there was another lady on the floor. She was stabbed in the back or in the chest,” said Ruiz. “I couldn’t tell. There was a lot of blood. She wasn’t conscious. The police were trying to resuscitate her. But she wasn’t moving. It was horrible.”

GOOD!


It's not a game. You don't get to be outraged afterwards and demand 'justice'

You get to be shot for the good of those around your dangerous arse.

Post-partum psychosis is really getting out of hand.

Brought a knife to a gun fight….

why couldn't they just shoot the knife out of her hand?

Good and take your time with the ambulance and let her bleed out.

Looked like a wild boar being dropped.

Looks like one of three things

1) Suicide by cop
2) snapped mentally
3) drugs
