Mayor Eric Adams continued Wednesday to defend the officers’ actions in Sunday’s police-involved subway shooting in Brooklyn that left one officer wounded, a bystander with a brain injury, and a city wondering why it happened.
The Sept. 15 Brownsville subway shooting involved 37-year-old Derell Mickles, who police said charged at two officers while brandishing a knife as the cops sought to stop him after he entered the Sutter Avenue station on the L line without paying.
