A knife-wielding woman stabbed two people in the heart of Times Square Monday afternoon before advancing on NYPD officers with two knives and being shot by police, authorities said.
The violence erupted just before 4:30 p.m. near West 43rd Street and Seventh Avenue, where the woman, described by authorities as emotionally disturbed, stabbed a man and a woman, police confirmed to Fox 5 New York.
The armed woman then fled north toward an NYPD substation, where officers confronted her as she wielded two knives, according to police.

Police urged the public to avoid West 43rd Street and Seventh Avenue and warned of delays in the surrounding area as investigators descended on the scene.
