The younger woman died from her injuries, while the man remained in stable condition.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"5\"\/>The dramatic confrontation unfolded near an NYPD substation outside One Times Square, where officers spent several minutes attempting to persuade the woman to put down the weapons, Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch said.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"9\"\/>The woman instead told officers, \u201cI\u2019m not dropping anything, I would rather kill both of you,\u201d Tisch said.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"11\"\/>Police then used a Taser, but it failed to incapacitate her. Video recorded by bystanders showed the woman subsequently moving towards the officers while waving the knives.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"13\"\/>Two officers opened fire, striking the woman. She fell to the ground and was handcuffed by police, while officers administered first aid. She was later pronounced dead.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"17\"\/><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"19\"\/>Despite the apparently random nature of the attack and the violent confrontation that followed, police said there was no evidence to suggest that the incident was a terrorist attack.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"21\"\/>Tisch said the woman had a \u201cdocumented mental health history with the NYPD\u201d, including incidents in 2018 and 2019. She did not have an arrest history with the department, and police have not disclosed further details about her mental health history.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"24\"\/>The attack began when the woman pulled two knives from a shopping bag and stabbed the 68-year-old man in the abdomen as he waited to cross the street with his wife after emerging from a subway station. Seconds later, she stabbed the 32-year-old woman, also in the abdomen.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"26\"\/>Both victims were taken to hospital. Police have not identified them as authorities continue to notify their relatives.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"28\"\/>\u201cThis was an extraordinarily dangerous situation unfolding in the heart of Times Square, the crossroads of the world,\u201d Tisch said.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"31\"\/>NYC mayor Zohran Mamdani and Tisch praised the officers who confronted the woman, saying their actions helped prevent the situation from escalating further in one of the city&#8217;s busiest tourist areas.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"33\"\/>\u201cWe know that those families\u2019 lives have been shattered by what took place today, and we will continue to hold them close as the hours and days and weeks continue from this moment,&#8221; Mamdani said.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"36\"\/>Police temporarily shut part of 7th Avenue and urged the public to stay away from the area as investigators examined the scene.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"39\"\/>The incident came as violent crime continues to decline across New York City. Homicides are down 24% so far this year and are on course to potentially reach their lowest level in decades.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"41\"\/>It was, however, the second fatal stabbing in Times Square this year. A man was killed in a stabbing in the same area in May.<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a
