A bystander filmed as a man with a machete allegedly charged an officer, leading the officer to open fire in broad daylight.

Video of the incident appears to show the man with the machete running at the officer while the officer yells, “Don’t do it! Don’t do it!”

Shots ring out thereafter.

ABC 7 reports that the suspect was taken to the hospital in unknown condition. The officer received non-life-threatening injuries.
