I'd almost say those are boxcutter wounds. (GRAPHIC)

WARNING!!! explicit photos ... Officer assaulted with a knife. .

The photos are of an officer trained in hand-to-hand combat.

The officer figured, due to his size and fighting skills, he could disarm a knife wielding aggressor.

Here is why I am forwarding these on:

If an officer tells you to drop your weapon, just drop it.

If you're a retard, stupid, on crack, mental or just "scared" ... too bad.

This is vivid proof of how deadly people who are "only armed with a knife" can be. Some of the public think that officers should try to disarm someone armed with a knife but anyone who has had training in knife fighting will tell you - even if you win you are going to get cut.

Keep this in the back of your mind when confronting someone armed with an edged weapon.

       Be forewarned, photos are graphic.
