The Brooklyn man who brutally slashed four young girls with a meat cleaver is still clinging to life after undergoing emergency surgery — as sources revealed that he had been hospitalized for schizophrenia in the past.

Lun Chang Chen, 49, was shot once in the head and twice in the torso as he allegedly lunged at cops who rushed to the bloody scene inside the Bensonhurst home Sunday morning, police said.

Four children between the ages of 8 and 13 were found bloodied and slashed when police arrived — including a wounded11-year-old girl who locked herself in a room and called 911, NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch said at a briefing following the attacks.

All of the children were rushed to Maimonides Medical Center with non-life-threatening injuries, the commissioner said.

Chen was identified as a relative of the girls — described as an uncle by one of the victims, though Tisch said Sunday police were still working out if he was the father of some of the kids.

A motive for the bloody attack has not been determined, but law enforcement sources said the family told investigators that he has a history of mental illness.

The 911 call came in around 10:15 a.m., Commissioner Tisch said. The 11-year-old said on the phone that Mr. Chen had stabbed her and her siblings in their home on 84th Street near 17th Avenue the nydailynews reported.

When officers and emergency medical workers arrived, a boy, who was not injured and who had run to a neighbor’s house to ask for help, opened the outside door and led them into a vestibule. The officers could hear the children screaming behind an apartment door, the commissioner said.


The officers forced open the door, which was locked, and saw Mr. Chen holding the meat cleaver, covered in blood, Commissioner Tisch said. There was blood on the walls and the floor, she said.

The officers ordered Mr. Chen several times to drop the weapon, but he refused and moved toward the officers, she said.

Two officers, who fired seven total rounds, shot him, Commissioner Tisch said.

The cleaver was recovered along with a bloody knife found in another room, she said.

Susan Zhuang, a City Council member who represents a neighboring district and speaks Mandarin, said the stabbings had rocked the close-knit Asian American community in south Brooklyn, which she said has little access to mental health support. Most of the residents, Ms. Zhuang said, do not speak English, the nytimes reported.

‘It’s very hard, and they don’t know how to get the resources,’ she said.

I hope Chen doesn't cling to long.

I hope Chen doesn't cling to long.

It would be best for the children because they will know the monster is dead.

Jeez, at least my nutty family members are non violent! They're not blood, so there's no hope of my kind of crazy being genetic...
