This is the moment a man pulled up next to a cop conducting a traffic stop in Chicago, pulled out a huge ax and charged at him before he was shot dead.

The officer was conducting a traffic stop at 11 a.m. on June 3 when an unrelated grey car pulled up next to a black Honda that the officer had pulled over, according to the Naperville Police Department.

'Who are you, dude?' the police officer asks on the video as the suspect, who has since been identified as 28-year-old Edward Samaan, opens the front door of his car before shutting it.

Seconds later, Samaan finally exits his vehicle to charge at the officer with an axe in his hand, footage shows.

The officer fired his gun several times, striking the suspect, police said.

'I've just been attacked, shots fired, shots fired!' the officer shouts in his radio. He then orders Samaan to stay on the ground and to not move while he he points his gun at him.

'Oh, my God! Holy s***!' the officer further says in the recording of the attack, as he's in shock from what had just happened.

'Stay in your car, man! Don't move!' the cop then shouts to the driver who had been initially pulled over at the traffic stop. The individual obeyed the officer's command and stayed in his vehicle.

Samaan was then rushed to hospital, where he was pronounced dead, after the officer called for emergency medical services.

The officer, a 22-year-veteran of the Naperville Police Department, was not injured from the attack. He remains unidentified.

Samaan is no stranger to police due to his extensive criminal background. He was previously booked on charges of aggravated assault and was recently out on bail.

“As of Sunday, a motive for the attack is unclear. Samaan’s brother, who spoke to ABC7 Chicago, couldn’t offer an explanation for the attack.”
****

Yeah, right. Innocent bystander brother here knew what his psychotic brother was gonna do.

1) It’s “Yo bro, what are you gonna do with that axe?”
-”i’m gonna trim the bushes outside”
“Yeah, go for it..”

OR

2) “”Yo bro, what are you gonna do with that axe?”
—”IM GONNA KILL THE COP”
“No kidding, good hunting bro”

Maybe this thread will last a while longer.

The "huge ax" is actually a hatchet. Looks a lot like a rigging axe, which is a hatchet. That said he still deserves his dirt nap.

The perp also seems to be geared up for an attack. Backpack on and other unknown items appear to be strapped onto his torso.

No motive for Samaan's attack has been revealed since the attack on June 3.

Given his surname no motive will ever be found.

That’s a huge axe? It looks like an ordinary camping hatchet. Good for the cop, though.

This actually happened in Naperville, a suburb about 30 miles west of Chicago.

Regardless of the size it still could have killed the policeman or badly injured him

The officer saw it was something strange, and he anticipated it.

You could see he set his feet and put his hand on his pistol.

As the max exited with the axe, the officer was backing up and drawing his pistol.

An attack like this depends on surprise.

The attacker lost the element of surprise by his weird vehicle handling.

Kind of similar to the Jihadist attack on the Draw Mohammed event where officer Greg Stevens had a gunfight with two Jihadists armed with rifles and pistols, and killed both of them. Greg had a Glock model 21, with 13 shots. He used them all.

Believe me, you do not want to be hit by even a small axe/hatchet. I have witnessed a person hit by a golf club which is lot lighter than a hatchet, and it was not pretty.

He alarmed the cop by speeding up and lurching to a stop then rolling ahead a few feet. He could have just as easily run him down with the car. I guess he wanted to try some hand to hand combat.

Lucky for the cop that the perp was an idiot.

Oh, I believe you. That wasn’t my point. I used a rigging axe for years so I know what they’re capable of.
