Warning graphic!

A 16-year-old called 911 to falsely report himself for killing two people, then he stabbed a responding officer in Virginia, police said.

The caller complained to the dispatch center about traffic and killing two people, but when officers responded to the reported incident just after 2:30 p.m. Feb. 3, a 16-year-old ran at them with a knife, Fairfax County Police Chief Kevin Davis said in a Feb. 4 news conference.

The teen stabbed a responding officer — a six-year veteran whose name was not revealed — in the upper body before he was taken into custody, police video shows.

The officer was taken to a hospital with non-life threatening injuries. He “sustained a laceration to the left side of his rib cage” and has since been released from the hospital, Major Elizabeth Melendez said in the news conference.
