Uniformed officers had gone to the West 1st Street home on a 6:30 a.m. call of a domestic disturbance on June 7, state Attorney General Gurbir S. Grewal said.
Video shows them being met by a woman whom sources said was the mother of Lee Waskiewicz, 47, with whom she lived.
She escorts the officers in and calls Waskiewicz down from the third floor.
Seeing police, Waskiewicz goes “upstairs and out of sight in the doorway of an attic,” Grewal said.
Officer Edward Taveras is heard in three different bodycam videos asking Waskiewicz to come down to talk to him.
“I don’t want to. F**ck you,” Waskiewicz replies at one point. “Come up here and I’ll stab you bastards.”
