NYPD bodycam shows suspect being fatally shot by multiple officers after he attempted to stab an officer
The 21-year-old assailant tried to corner three cops inside the 540 Main St. elevator on Aug. 5 and showed no signs of stopping when they displayed their weapons.
The disturbing footage shows the man storming toward one female officer, who pushed a Taser into his chest as a warning sign, but ultimately didn’t discharge the weapon.
The two colleagues that flanked her quickly pulled their triggers, blasting the young man with more than a dozen rounds, and the video shows he initially survived and continued waving the knife as he lay on the floor.
“Drop the knife!” officers can be heard screaming.
The man was later taken by EMS to a local hospital, where he died from his wounds.
His identity has not yet been released.
The fatal encounter unfolded within a matter of seconds, according to the video, which was released as part of the state Attorney General’s investigation into the police-involved shooting.
