Man attacks his wife with a MEAT CLEAVER as he drags her down a busy New York street in front of horrified shoppers before firefighters leap in to rescue her

A crazed man 'repeatedly hacked into his wife’s head with a meat cleaver' in broad daylight on a Manhattan street as aghast fire fighters watched from their firehouse across the street and rushed to the rescue. The incident reportedly took place Sunday at around 10:20am on Canal Street in New York City’s Chinatown neighborhood. Jose Ortiz and some other firefighters heard a commotion from nearby Engine Company 9 firehouse.

 (...)

He said the 28-year-old man pulled a meat cleaver from his waistband and began hacking into his young wife's face and head. 'I would guess maybe six, eight, ten times, he hit the woman in the head,' he said.
