Montgomery County police released body camera footage of a fatal officer-involved shooting investigation that happened on Saturday afternoon in White Oak, Md.
The incident happened outside the home of the victim, 30-year-old Finan H. Berhe, on the 1500 block of Hadden Manor Court, officials said.
In the video, Montgomery County police Sgt. David Cohen, a 17-year veteran, was first seen putting on a surgical mask before stepping out of his vehicle to confront Berhe.
The video then shows Cohen exiting his vehicle and pointing his gun at Berhe as he ran on the road towards Cohen and his police cruiser. Cohen turns on the audio of his body camera and is heard instructing Berhe to, "Put the knife down."
Cohen is then heard in the video telling dispatch that he has a person refusing to get down on the ground, later warning him to "get on the ground," several times.
"I don't want to shoot you," Cohen said in the video before Berhe ran towards him.
