Police fatally shot a machete-wielder who attacked a woman and her dog on the streets of Brooklyn.

The horrifying bloodshed happened around 6:15 p.m. in a corner of Brownsville, police reported. Just a day before, another man was shot by NYPD for similar wild confrontation.

NYPD Chief of Patrol Juanita Holmes said: "The suspect was acting erratic, laying on the ground, damaging parked vehicles, attempting to enter one caller’s front yard, and chasing people in the area with the machete."

He immediately shifted towards a 50-year old woman, deeply cutting her hands and head and sliced her dog's shoulder. Victims were taken to Kings County Hospital and a nearby clinic respectively.

The suspect was shot in his chest after disobeying repeated Police commands to drop his blade and started rushing towards officers instead.
