An ultra-Orthodox Jewish man in his 30s was stabbed in the face while walking along a Flatbush street in Brooklyn on Tuesday, October 29.

The police arrived at the scene and entered into a shootout with the attacker. He was seriously injured and was taken to hospital, where his condition is listed as critical. There were no injuries among the police.

The shooter was later identified as 22-year-old Sidi Mohammed Abdallahi.
