Bodycam footage shows the shocking moment police shot a man in the leg after he charged at them with two knives.

Paris Cummings, 27, greeted cops brandishing the blades when they knocked on his front door.

New York Police Department had been called to his sixth-floor apartment in Harlem, New York, following reports that he was trying to kill himself.

Dramatic footage recorded on a body-worn camera at around 5.30pm on October 22 by one of the two officers shows them banging on the door and Cummings opening it.
