ATTACKS ON MADISON AVENUE

Yesterday afternoon, authorities arrived at Madison Avenue where witnesses say a bloody scene occurred behind the closed curtains of a VIP dressing room. Police were summoned once shoppers heard crashes coming from the store’s VIP area and reported the noise to staff. An employee who went to assess the situation says she saw “a mess” and “two women struggling.” She also says a third person involved, a young man, was present but “just lying on the floor.”

“I didn’t want to endanger myself,” she later confessed, “And now I’m glad I didn’t. I just wish nobody had gotten hurt.” One of the attack’s initiators, an unidentified elderly man, killed three officers before fleeing the scene, shooting two with their own service weapons and breaking the neck of the third. A “small, dark-haired female” seen attacking a “red-headed girl” is believed to have made her escape earlier, as she could not be found at the scene.

The two targets of the attack, Mr. Neil Verere and Miss Josie Higgins (pictured above), were rushed to Lenox Hill for their injuries immediately after the arrival of the NYPD, but some officials say the two should be grateful they escaped with their lives. Mr. Verere and Miss Higgins have yet to give their official statements to police, but those looking into the event say they have several leads. One currently being investigated involves this month's skyrocketing murder rate.

The New York Police Department is now operating under the belief that the two responsible for yesterday’s Madison Avenue attack have cooperated to commit these murders. More information on the search for these criminals will be released when available.
