The Attorney General's Office released new body cam footage of the moments that led up to a fatal police shooting of a stabbing suspect in Orange County.
Ali was a suspect in a violent stabbing at a Brooklyn laundromat.
State police say it started when a 50-year-old female worker was pounced on by an enraged customer and
stabbed in the face multiple times because his laundry wasn’t done.
Ali was spotted by police in a stolen car on the northbound Thruway, not far from exit 16 in Harriman. Ali allegedly caused an early morning fiery crash trying to evade police and took off in the woods barefoot.
Police say he was located in a wooded area of Highland Mills with a knife after a trail camera photographed him nearby. He allegedly refused to comply with police orders to drop the weapon and charged at officers.
Ali was shot and killed after being tased twice.
The Attorney General's Office is still investigating the shooting.
