in all. including an suv that ended up on its roof. there was a mini van with several people involved, five kids and two adults. now, all the kids were taken to the hospital but they all survived. all had non-life-threatening injuries, all the people involved were wearing seat bes or all the children were in their safety seats and miraculously everybody survived. >> my family was okay, my little nephew, i put him on my back, just running through the whole street because it was all blocked off. there was a refuse lea to see s was okay. >> the first reaction was to slam on the brakes, the air bags were deployed. i turned around and saw that they were okay. >> now, that woman was driving and the man that you saw there, that was her brother. you can imagine the fear he was feeling. he had to come all the way from wheaton, walking up on the scene. you can imagine how happy he was had he saw everybody in his family was okay. some were taken to the hospital. two children taken to the hospital were medevaced. but again, they have non-life-threatening injuries, we can thank all of them for the restraint systems that were involved and the fact everybody involved were using the restraint systems. an investigation is under way to figure out what caused the second space disaster in a week. virgin galactic space tourism vehicle, spaceship ii, exploded over the mohave desert this afternoon. one pilot is dead, another seriously ended. the richard branson funded ship was designed to take tourists up in the atmosphere, and was designed for paying customers next year. that comes after the unmanned rocket exploded just after liftoff on wallops island. it was on a mission to re-supply the international space station. we still don't know the cause of the crash. and an attack on a d.c. officer, pat collins learned how the suspect carrying an axe just learned how some suspects worried. >> rep it had some in brooklyn talking, some looking over their shoulder. a man with an axe aftmbushes a police officer with an axe like this. now, you don't have to ask people what they think. just show them the picture. it is a picture not easily forgotten, a large axe impaled into the driver's side of the window. we showed it to people here in brooklyn. >> it is absolutely brutal. absolutely brutal. this is in our neighborhood. a family neighborhood. so -- horrible. >> reporter: this happened around 3:00 this afternoon as a police officer went to check out a suspicious man in an alley here. he thought the guy had a baseball bat. it turned out to be an axe. >> from new york, that is what it looked like to me. >> reporter: the officer ambushed. his car window smashed. police say the officer tried to arrest the suspect, that there was a fight and the suspect ran away. >> it is a part of the world we live in now. >> i do not feel safe. probably should not be walking around here by myself. >> reporter: now, this vicious attack comes on halloween. chief lanier has this to say about that. >> on halloween night you have to be a little extra cautious because think of the costumes people will be wearing. especially the young adults and adults out in costumes. so yes, we're going to have to be extra cautious tonight. i don't think there is a threat at this point to members of the community. it appears that this person specifically targeted the police officer. >> i'm still going out. we're taking our daughter here. it could happen at any time. we're all aware of that. >> reporter: now, you are likely to see increased police patrols here in brooklyn tonight. live in northeast, pat collins, news 4. thanks, pat, that attack now has police here in d.c. working with police up in new york city. they experienced a hatchet attack there last week. we're trying to figure out if these types of attacks have a common motive. >> are there any similarities, do they have the idea of motive as the investigation continues, we'll continue to coordinate with them with them if necessary. and stay on the same page. >> the nypd says so far they have not linked their suspect to any terrorist organizations. now to a big clue about the mindset of the man linked to three attacks on young women in virginia, a lawyer for jesse matthew set the stage in court today for a potential insanity defense. matthew will come to fairfax county in a couple of weeks to face charges of attempted murder and rape. we'll hear why matthews two lawyers had a public disagreement and why prosecutors may need to fly in a woman from out of the country, coming up in the next half hour. there is a major development in the ebola quarantine controversy up in maine. today, a judge rejected the state's bid to force kaci hickox to stay home. she is the nurse who returned recently from west africa. the judge agreed that because kaci hickox does not have any symptoms of infection she is not a danger to the public. in the meantime, the united nations now reports there have been more than 13,000 cases of ebola in eight cou. and there have been nearly 5,000 people who have died from that disease. some local nurses are planning to walk off the job in protest, saying their hospital has not prepared them enough to respond to the ebola crisis. we'll have more on the timing of the strike and why the nurses are so worried, coming up in 15 minutes. we're j four days away from polls opening up in the mid-term elections, the "meet the press" moderator chuck todd is on the road. >> chuck, we just learned the cook report is calling the maryland governor's race too close to call. >> it is actually part of a trend that i saw on this road trip, 3,000 miles, by the way -- no sleep, no sleep until election day. there is an anti-incumbent atmosphere here when you look at what hogan has been doing, larry hogan is trying to make anthony brown the incumbent by running against the o'malley/brown, it doesn't matter if it is a democratic or republican incumbent, there is anti-incumbent out there. we have seen there are more races within five points right now in the polls in senate and gubernatorial battles than i have seen in my lifetime. it is unbelievable, really because you have a group of voters fed up with leadership. >> it sounds like it will be key to get the voters out -- >> this this case, you have -- the campaigns are treating it as a base election. but there is a voter, i found them everywhere, with arkansas voters, charlotte mothers, georgia businessmen who said they're fed up with the polarization, they don't think either party really provides much leadership. and they haven't figured out which nostril to hold. the left or right. and i think that in the end will sway things. it feels like there is a tilt toward the republicans that everything is sort of breezing their direction. but not an avalanche yet. >> do you get the sense all of those states that you have been visiting, do you get the sense at all this talk and fear about ebola and the white house reaction to it, is playing a factor at all? >> can i tell you, not to burst the bubble here between my friends in washington and new york, ebola has not been an issue at all. isis is an issue, the issue of terrorism, sort of heard a lack of leadership from washington. the ebola thing really doesn't feel real to them. it is -- >> but you get a case -- >> in your state, so. in georgia there is a little more acute because hartsfield-jackson intt in atla not coming up. we're going to have a bunch of new polls. we know people don't get enough numbers, right? i did interviews with eight different candidates so i'm going to have excerpts of these, mid-term means, 96 hours from mid-terms which means we're five days away from the presidential race. and it does start the day after the mid-terms. so we're talking a little bit about that. with rand paul who is really out there running. >> and you can catch "meet the press" there at 10:30 a.m. sunday morning. and leaflets containing isis propaganda found in quantico, virginia, the fliers include an isis flag and arabic writings that say, we are here from mexico and came by train. authorities are looking into this matter. there are indications the material may not be authentic. for example, the isis flag is printed upsidedown and back wards. and a warning for kids as they head out to trick-or-treat. boxes of candy have turned up laced with marijuana. police seized the candy earlier this week before it got to its destination in laurel. it was shipped from colorado where marijuana was legal. investigators don't believe that candy was meant for children. but they put it on display today so parent s can make sure it doesn't end up in their child's halloween bag. charges could be filed. 24
