New York police have defended their actions after a bystander was shot in the head as two officers tackled a fare-evader armed with a knife in a busy subway station.

The man was in critical condition after the shooting at Sutter Avenue L station in Brooklyn on Sunday afternoon. Three others, including the suspect, were wounded.

        They carry batons here, too. And Tasers, and pepper spray, and lots of other weapons that are not guns.

          The batons also fire bullets. In fact, the pepper spray and taser fire bullets too.
