According to the BBC, a 32-year-old woman and the suspect were killed after a stabbing in Times Square, New York City, late on Wednesday afternoon. New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani said a second victim is in stable condition and thanked NYPD officers for preventing the attack from becoming worse. New York Police Department Commissioner Jessica Tisch said the incident was an unprovoked double stabbing that unfolded in about 20 seconds. Police said the NYPD call center received several 911 calls at about 16:24 local time reporting a woman armed with two knives stabbing people along Seventh Avenue near West 41st Street. The suspect, later identified as 49-year-old Pamela Cisneros of Queens, was shot by officers after they tried for four minutes to get her to drop the weapons. Tisch said Cisneros had a documented mental health history with the NYPD, with incidents in 2018 and 2019.

Hong Kong-listed MicroPort Medical said on August 31 that it will delay publication of its interim results because it needs more time to negotiate subsidiary lease terms and deposit arrangements and to assess the impact on its financial statements, according to Jiemian News. The company said its audit committee and management also need more time to evaluate the matters. Jiemian News noted that at least three other Hong Kong-listed companies in the MicroPort group — MicroPort Robot, MicroPort NeuroScientific and MicroPort CardioFlow — also said they would delay half-year reports, citing lease issues and the need to confirm the relationship between counterparties and the group. MicroPort Medical said it still needs to finalize key lease terms including rent, lease term, area and deposits, assess the recoverability of deposits and the reasonableness of renovation costs, and determine whether any relationship exists between the company, the landlord and related parties. The company said related subsidiaries had deposit balances of nearly 296 million yuan and cumulative rent of $195 million over the past five years. MicroPort Medical was suspended from trading and last closed at HK$6.075 a share, giving it a market value of about HK$11.6 billion. Jiemian News also reported that as of the end of July, three subsidiaries had signed leases for about 13,900 square meters through July 2031, while eight others were still negotiating leases and renewals for about 74,700 square meters.
