        A police officer shot a man in Mott Haven last night after he allegedly charged at them with a machete.
        Around 10:15 p.m. Wednesday, police responded to reports of a domestic dispute inside of the Third at Bankside apartment building. When they arrived, to the sixth floor, police say they saw a woman and a 24-year-old man who was holding the large knife.
        According to police, the man received multiple orders to drop the weapon but refused.
        "One of my cops discharged a taser to try to deter the male from using the machete and then one of the other cops, when the taser wasn't successful, fired one round from his 9 mm hand gun striking that male in the left arm," said Commanding Officer Benjamin Gurley, NYPD Patrol Borough Bronx.
        Police say the man was taken to NYC Health + Hospitals/Lincoln in stable condition. He is now in police custody as an NYPD investigation remains ongoing.
