Terrifying bodycam footage emerged this week showing the moment an NYPD officer shot a person in self-defense, prompting an outlandish reaction from New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani.
As Fox News reported, the NYPD on Tuesday released video of an incident that occurred in Queens on January 26. Cops were responding to an emergency call from a family, who said 22-year-old Jabez Chakraborty was having a mental health episode and had thrown a glass against the wall.
The footage begins with two police officers calmly approaching the home and knocking on the door. A woman answers and invites them in.
The footage then shows an officer entering the living room of the home, where a man was holding a knife. The person was later identified as 22-year-old Jabez Chakraborty.
Officers repeatedly order him to “put the knife down,” but Chakraborty ignores their demands.
The woman also attempts to hold Chakraborty back, but he continues to move towards the police. An officer then slams a door shut to block the crazed man.
He continues to scream for Chakraborty to put the knife down.
Chakraborty then barges through the door and marches toward the officer with his weapon. Fearing for his life, the officer fires his gun, hitting Chakraborty four times.
