Detroit police have shot to death a man they say was wielding a sword in the middle of a street and threw a dagger at an officer, authorities said Thursday.
Video of the incident recorded by witnesses shows a man dressed in what authorities said was 'something a hockey player would wear' while brandishing what appears to be a sharp object.
The man is seen ignoring police orders to surrender and continues to wield what looks like a large knife as he approaches law enforcement officers near a police cruiser.
Police Chief James Craig said after the man was shot late on Thursday, he continued to approach officers while swinging the sword.
