A 13-year-old kid was caught brandishing a knife the size of his forearm, before a cop pulled his gun and arrested the pint-sized perp in a Brooklyn subway station.
The teeny knife-wielder, dressed in jeans and a grey hoodie, seemed to be in a dispute with other kids, who were circling and lunging at him at the Coney Island – Stillwell avenue subway station on Monday evening, according to video posted to social media.
A nearby officer witnessing the ordeal approaches the group and yells, “Hey! Drop the knife!,” the footage shows.
The kids scattered as soon as the cop pulled his gun, aiming at the middle-schooler’s head, who immediately dropped the knife and raised his hands.
He was taken into police custody and released later that night to his parents, according to police sources.
“That cop may have just saved his life,” read the caption on a video that had 12.1 million views on X on Thursday evening.
