Moment butcher knife-wielding Florida boy aged ELEVEN is tasered by cops after threatening to kill himself and his sister during tantrum over video game

An 11-year-old boy in Florida who was wielding a butcher knife and threatening to kill himself and his sister during a tantrum over a video game has been tasered by officers. 

Wesley Hinton began getting angry following the dispute and grabbed a blade before his 10-year-old sister phoned 911 during the incident on January 20.

Deputies from the Broward Sheriff’s Office arrived on the scene and say Wesley ran the knife over parts of his body including his wrists, stomach and held it at his chest.

Surveillance footage shows deputies pleading with him to drop the weapon for at least 30 minutes before he appeared to reach for it again and was tasered.   

His mother Samantha Hinton claims he has struggled to function since the incident and he said he is traumatized to this day.

Video from the incident shows Wesley holding a large butcher knife in his hand.

Deputies attempt to get him to drop it and he lays it down momentarily before he appears to pick it back up and he is tasered.

'It looked like I tried to grab it again, but I was about to do this and then — shot,' Wesley told WTVJ. 

'The juvenile male, according to deputy, continued to reiterate he had intentions to harm himself,' a Broward Sheriff’s Office spokesman said. 

'And at some point the deputy said he ran that large knife over parts of his body, stomach and wrist and chest.

'Deputies utilized their training and were able to save that juvenile life and also prevent injury to anyone else.'

His stepfather Jonathan Friedland revealed that he has 'multiple disabilities'

But his mother Samantha said: 'He’s so pale, he doesn’t sleep, he just stares at you at night, he can’t function, he’s failing in homeschooling, where he was getting all A’s.'

Samantha said deputies have helped deal with her son on multiple occasions before and his stepfather Jonathan Friedland revealed that he has 'multiple disabilities'.

'They were able to sit down and talk to him at this level and re-direct his mind and then he would calm down and talk with them and go willingly,' she said.

'They deescalated the situation every time.'

The young boy is not facing any charges over the incident and child protection services are said to be involved.
