Washington (CNN) -- An officer with Washington's Metropolitan Police Department came under an unprovoked attack Friday from a man wielding an ax, police said, the second such attack in two weeks that is prompting warnings and new protocols to officers on the job.

The attack, and another last week in which a man attacked four New York City officers with a hatchet in Queens, prompted an immediate increase in security for officers in both D.C. and New York. The New York Police Department said in a memo: "Police Officers on patrol should maintain a heightened level of awareness."

The attack in Washington occurred around 3 a.m. as the officer was sitting in his marked squad car in Washington's Brookland neighborhood, near the campus of Catholic University of America, police said.

Wonder what the name of the attacker is?

(Never mind........  I see that he ran away, so they don't know........   not that they would tell us anyway).

If it is a muzzie he probably will try again, then we will know the name.....maybe.

They keep calling these recent converts by their pre-convert names.

Happy Halloween!
