QUEENS — NYPD officers shot and wounded a 22-year-old man Monday morning in Briarwood after, police say, he advanced toward them with a large kitchen knife despite repeated commands to drop the weapon.

The incident unfolded around 10:30 a.m. on Parsons Boulevard after officers responded to a 911 call reporting a man throwing glass objects against a wall inside a residence.

According to Assistant Chief Christopher McIntosh, commanding officer of Patrol Borough Queens South, officers attempted to de-escalate the situation upon arrival. Police say the man retrieved a knife and moved toward responding officers. A relative inside the home reportedly tried to restrain him but was unsuccessful.

Authorities stated that officers repeatedly ordered the man to drop the knife and attempted to create distance by closing a door between rooms. However, police say the man forced his way through the door and continued advancing with the weapon.

“At that point, officers discharged their firearms,” McIntosh told to Eyewitness.

The man was struck multiple times and transported to Jamaica Hospital Medical Center with injuries described as non-life-threatening. Officers at the scene rendered aid, including applying a tourniquet, and requested emergency medical services. The responding officers are also being evaluated for minor injuries.

Police confirmed that the encounter was captured on body-worn camera footage. Officials declined to disclose how many shots were fired or comment on any possible mental health history of the individual, citing the ongoing investigation.

The case is now under review by the NYPD’s Force Investigation Division, the unit tasked with examining officer-involved shootings.

Mayor Zohran Mamdani addressed the incident on social media, stating that his administration is committed to transparency as more information becomes available.

The investigation remains active.
