LOS ANGELES — Body-worn camera video from the Los Angeles Police Department shows officers chasing a knife-wielding man through a Metro station, leading to shots fired in a parking lot, KABC reports.
The officer-involved shooting happened in May after there was a report of a man walking around brandishing a knife in the Vermont/Beverly Metro station. When officers confronted the suspect, he ran away.
Officers chased the suspect out of the Metro station and into the streets before meeting up with him in a parking lot.
Multiple officers can be heard telling the suspect to drop the knife. He did not listen to orders and charged at one of the responding officers with a knife, causing officers to shoot the suspect.
Investigation revealed the suspect hit a woman over the head and stabbed a man in the shoulder.
The suspect, identified as Mason Swenor, 23, is being held on $2.155 million bail.
