BROOKLYN — At 10:52 AM, NYPD Officers from the 67th Precinct in Brooklyn responded to several 911 calls for a male with a firearm and a knife in front of a Laundromat located at 342 Remsen Avenue.
Upon arriving at the location the officers encountered a 23-year-old male identified as Davonte Pressley, armed with a knife in front of the Laundromat.
The officers repeatedly ordered the armed male to drop the knife at which time the male lunged towards the officers with a knife still in his hand. One officer discharged his service weapon striking the male 3 times in the torso.
EMS responded to the scene and transported the male to Brookdale Hospital where he is in critical condition.
A knife has been recovered at the scene and the investigation is ongoing.
