NYPD releases footage of cop being stabbed during unprovoked Brooklyn attack

The NYPD released startling footage showing the moment an officer was stabbed in the neck by an assailant in Flatbush on Wednesday.

Suspect Dzenan Camovic — who remains hospitalized with gunshot wounds from responding officers — can allegedly be seen walking up Church Avenue before suddenly turning onto Flatbush Avenue and stabbing his victim shortly before midnight.

The video cuts out before Camovic, 20, allegedly commandeered the officer’s gun and shot two more cops in the unprovoked attack.

“This was not a chance encounter—it was a planned assassination attempt on an NYPD police officer, the department said in a tweet.

“It’s only by sheer luck that this didn’t have a drastically different outcome.”

The three officers were hospitalized in stable condition. Camovic, a Sheepshead Bay resident whose family hails from Bosnia, was shot several times by a sergeant responding to the scene.

Camovic remains in critical condition and has not been interviewed by police because he’s been intubated.

He faces charges of three counts of attempt murder on a police officer. The FBI is involved and exploring possible federal charges.

The attack came amid nationwide civil unrest over the police killing of George Floyd,

The attack did not occur during a demonstration, though Camovic opened a Twitter account this month, and liked 24 tweets from those writing about George Floyd protests, looting in Soho and anti-cop propaganda, police said.
