Brooklyn, NY - A man was shot and killed by police after attacking an officer with a knife at a police station early Sunday morning.

According to police, the man entered a private rear entrance of the 73rd Precinct in Brooklyn around 5:30 a.m. and was confronted by an officer, who directed him to the public front entrance.

The man then pulled out a large butcher knife and slashed the officer in the face. The suspect fled the precinct, and an officer attempted to subdue him with a taser, but it was ineffective.

The suspect was later confronted by officers at the corner of Saratoga Avenue and Park Place. Several officers discharged their firearms, striking the man multiple times. He was taken to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Police recovered a 14-inch-long butcher knife at the scene, where several evidence markers were scattered along the street. The entire incident was captured on an officer's body-worn camera footage and surveillance video in the area.
