A man with a machete attacked three New York City police officers not far from the city's New Year's Eve celebration, police said early Sunday.
Two were struck in the head and were hospitalized. One officer — a rookie, patrolling on his first day with the NYPD — suffered a fractured skull, said Police Commissioner Keechant Sewell during a press conference. The other, an officer in his eighth year with the NYPD suffered a bad gash.
Both are expecting to recover, a spokesperson said Sunday. The 19-year-old suspect, whose identity was not released by police, was also expected to recover.
On the eve of the D-Day invasion, Gen. Dwight Eisenhower spent the remaining hours of daylight with the paratroopers who were about to jump behind German lines into occupied France. A single moment captured by an Army photographer became the most enduring image of America's greatest military operation.
