The Leading Senior Constable blocked the man’s arm before he swung the knife a second and third time at his head before running away.
Officers gave chase towards Ethel Lane, where one officer fired his Taser at the man without effect.
After a short pursuit the man, still armed with the knife, stopped and turned to face the officers.
Another officer then fired his Taser which caused him to fall to the ground.
Officers arrested the man and secured the knife. He was taken to Eastwood Police Station where inquiries into the incident are continuing.
The officer involved was not physically injured during the incident.
