Crazed man launches brutal attack days after arrest for slashing man on street with large blade
Multiple police officers were injured during an attack by a man wielding a machete in New York City, according to reports.
The incident unfolded in Brooklyn at around 3:30 p.m. on January 22, but footage was just obtained by the New York Post this week.
Officers responding to an “emotionally disturbed person” call at a residence in East Flatbush encountered 40-year-old Jean Blain, a man with a lengthy arrest record who reportedly goes by the alias “Insane Blain.”
While officers were confronting Blain, he suddenly pulled out a massive blade and began slashing.
Bodycam footage of the brutal assault was released by the Post on Tuesday.

Blain can be heard repeatedly barking, “No!” before yelling, “You know what? F**k that!” and swinging a machete at the nearest cop.
The 40-year-old Sergeant suffered a head wound and two other officers were also treated for cuts and injuries.
A grand jury reportedly “cut Blain – break because of his mental health issues” and opted not to charge him with attempted murder.
He was placed in a psychiatric ward amid an investigation into another machete attack for which he was arrested on January 11.
Blain is suspected of slashing a man with the same weapon for no reason.
“He asked me, ‘What do you want?’ I didn’t say anything and he just attacked me. I didn’t know what to do. I just ran,” said the victim, who suffered cuts to his head and hand.
Blain has previously been arrested for allegedly stealing his neighbor’s car, exposing his genitals to women in Times Square, and for hopping a subway turnstile.
It is unclear what charges, if any, he may faces for the machete attacks.
