Giovonnie Mayo, 29, is charged with gun possession for allegedly pulling the weapon on a woman outside a store in Brownsville.
The officers were at a domestic violence call in the Bushwick neighborhood when the man tapped on their car window to get their attention, police said at a press conference.
The man dropped one of the knives as he fell to the ground but held on to the second blade as he got back up and charged the cops, officials said.
The tense confrontation started when two NYPD detectives came upon the man pointing a gun at a woman outside a Brownsville store.
The 26-year-old man allegedly approached officers in Bushwick around 2 a.m. Sunday with two knives, NYPD Chief of Patrol John Chell said.
