Officers quickly secured the knife and arrested Howard, allowing the woman to get to safety, according to the footage.

Additional officers gave Howard medical aid before taking him away.

Howard survived his injuries after the incident and faces multiple charges, Ramsay said. Howard was last being held in a Maricopa County jail on a $350,000 cash bond, he said.

Both an internal review and a criminal review were being conducted, police spokesperson Jose Santiago said. The results of those reviews will be sent to the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office, which will then send a report back to police, Santiago said.

A board will then be convened to discuss whether the use of force in the incident was within policy, according to Santiago. The process may take several months to a year to complete, he said.
