They followed him onto a train that had pulled into the station and fired two Tasers, but neither incapacitated the man, Maddrey said.Maddrey said the man was advancing on the officers with the knife when both officers fired multiple rounds.The 37-year-old man was hit several times. He was hospitalized in stable condition. The video taken by a passenger shows the officers rendering first aid, before one of them realized that he, too, had been hit by a bullet.
