Officer Recognized for Interfering in Knifing

By Staff Reporter of the Sun | January 3, 2008

The police commissioner yesterday commended the bravery of an off-duty police officer who shot an emotionally disturbed man after he had stabbed two people in Manhattan last year.

The officer, Gregory Chin, was leaving a diner in Murray Hill in October when he saw a man wielding bloody knives on Second Avenue. The man had just stabbed a woman after stealing the knives from a restaurant kitchen.
