This footage shows the moment a police officer who responded to reports of threatening behaviour from a man in Rotherham was attacked.
On July 17, officers responded to reports of Glynn Leedell ‘acting aggressively’ and threatening to hurt a woman.
Officers arrived at the address in Kimberworth Park, where they encountered Leedell, who asked them: ‘Come and talk to me then. Is it a breach of bail?’
Officers were then seen walking into the property, greeting the dog politely, before Leedell lunged towards the officer.
He yelled, ‘Come on then,’ as he began trying to stab the officers with a knife.

After Leedell was restrained, the officer was heard asking, ‘Am I bleeding?’ A trail of blood was seen streaming from his neck.
The officer suffered a slash wound to the back of his neck, requiring hospital treatment.
The injured officer and his fellow response officers managed to restrain Leedell, remove the knife from his possession and arrest him.
A second officer also received injuries to his hand during the incident.
Leedell has now been jailed for the offences.
Last week, a man armed with two knives and an iron pipe was shot dead by police as he rampaged through central Marseille.
Five people were stabbed, leaving one clinging to life in the hospital, after the spree was triggered by a suspect angry at being kicked out of his hotel.
The suspect, a legal Tunisian national who was staying in a hotel in the Belsunce district of the French city, was evicted from the hotel because he was not paying his rent, Marseille public prosecutor Nicolas Bessone said.
But the man returned, went up to his old room, and stabbed the person who was occupying his previous room.
