Two New York police officers accidentally shot two bystanders at a busy Time Square intersection while chasing a suicidal man pretending to shoot at them with his hand.<br /><br />The victims, both women, were were taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening gunshot wounds.<br /><br />The suspect, Glenn Broadnax, said the incident started with a psychotic episode that drove him to an attempted suicide.<br /><br />Broadnax, 35, allegedly said: "I saw my dead relatives and heard them talking to me, and then I tried to kill myself by jumping in front of cars," a law-enforcement official told the Wall Street Journal.<br /><br />A police spokesman said Broadnax was found by uniformed officers blocking traffic while trying to get run over — even laying face down in the middle of the busy road. While pursuing the suspect, police drew their weapons after Broadnax appeared to pull a gun out of his pants. What he took out was his hand, and he simulated firing at the police, prompting police to fire back, hitting two women in the process.<br /><br />Finally, the officers were able to bring Broadnax down, using a Taser gun to do so. He was then transferred to a psychiatric hospital.<br /><br />--------------------------------------------------------<br /><br />TomoNews is your daily source for top animated news.
