“#This is the knife carried by the US Capitol car attacker”

The unhinged man who rammed his car into two Capitol Police officers last Friday — killing one of them — was carrying a large cooking-style knife with a brown handle at the time of the attack, according to a photo released by police Monday.

Capitol attack suspect Noah Green — Green, an apparent follower of the Nation of Islam, was also taken to the hospital after the attack and later died.

The knife was recovered at the scene after Noah Green, 25, lunged at a police officer with the blade after mowing two other cops and ramming into a barricade at the US Capitol at about 1 p.m., Washington, DC Police said.

A cop shot Green before he could stab anyone with the blade, police said.

One of the officers who was hit by Green’s car, 41-year-old William Evans, was rushed to a local hospital and died a short time later, police said.

Green, an apparent follower of the Nation of Islam, was also taken to the hospital after the attack and later died, cops said.

Evans was the second Capitol Police officer to be killed on duty this year.

Officer Brian Sicknick was killed during the Jan. 6 Capitol Riot as he and other cops faced off against a mob of frenzied Donald Trump supporters, who stormed the building in an attempt to overturn the 2020 presidential election.
