Police bodycam footage captured a Florida deputy’s heroic actions Thursday night when a man held a woman at knifepoint.
Deputies of the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office were responding to a dispute around 9 p.m. that evening in Tampa, Florida, according to WTVT-TV.
Jason Paul, 47, was behaving “erratically” and threatening to kill his neighbor, according to HCSO.

“As deputies tried to de-escalate the situation, Paul continued making threats to kill his neighbor and, therefore, our deputies decided to Baker Act Paul. He then entered his home and refused to come out,” HCSO said in a statement.
When police looked through Paul’s window, they saw him holding a knife to a woman, springing Deputy John Howes into action.
