CBS News reports:
An 11-year-old girl called 911 just after 10 a.m. and said her uncle was stabbing her and her siblings, NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch said. The girl did not know her address, but the 911 call center used location technology to pinpoint where the call came from, she added.
When officers arrived at the home on 84th Street, an uninjured child led them inside the vestibule, according to Tisch.
“At that point, [the officers] heard screams coming from behind the door to their left and immediately began forcing their way into the apartment,” Tisch said during a press conference at the scene. “They encountered a man standing near the entrance holding a large meat cleaver covered in blood.”
Officers ordered the man to drop the cleaver, but he refused and moved toward them, she said.
“Two officers discharged their firearms, firing seven total rounds between them and striking the subject, ending the threat,” Tisch said. “This encounter is captured in bodycam video.”

Per ABC News:
The incident unfolded around 10:15 a.m., Tisch said. She said that once the attack began, a young boy who is related to the family ran to a neighbor’s apartment to get help and let police into the building when they arrived.
Tisch said officers were standing in a vestibule of the building when they heard screams coming from an apartment to their left. Officers then kicked open the door to the apartment, she said.
“Once they entered, they encountered a man standing near the entrance holding a large meat cleaver covered in blood and they could see blood on the floor and the walls of the home,” Tisch said.
She said the suspect was ordered several times to drop the weapon.
“He refused and advanced toward them,” Tisch said. “Two officers discharged their firearms, firing seven total rounds between them, striking the subject, ending the threat.”
The suspect was taken to Maimonides Medical Center in Brooklyn, where he was in critical condition, police said.
Tisch said the victims — four sisters ages 8, 11, 13 and 16 — all suffered serious slash and stab wounds. They were also taken to Maimonides, where they were being treated. All of the victims are expected to survive.
