Two Daytona Beach officers shot Andrew Mansilla, 25, in the neck Thursday night, critically injuring him.

Officers had responded to a 911 call saying that Mansilla and another man were arguing and that one of them indicated he was going to "stab someone" if cops showed up, the Daytona Police Department said Friday.

The bodycam footage shows one officer pulling up in her patrol car and saying over the radio, "I need another unit over here. He’s real aggressive and it looks like he’s got a knife in his hand. I’m backing away from him."

Moments later, the officer steps out and Mansilla charges toward her.

"Get on the ground," she says four times. She then says, "don’t make me shoot you" before firing once.
