Harrowing bodycam footage captured the moment NYPD cops fatally shot a cleaver-wielding maniac inside his Manhattan apartment building after he slashed his elderly dad in the head.

Footage released Friday by New York Attorney General Letitia James showed cops busting into Wei Chan’s Ludlow Street home on Lower East Side on Aug. 16 — and quickly discovering a trail of blood leading up the stairs.

“Hey, what’s going on? Show me your hands. Show me your hands,” one officer is heard saying as three others trail him up the stairway.

Chan, 54, appeared to shout incoherently in response and ignored multiple commands from cops to drop the blade.

“He’s got a knife, he’s got a knife,” another officer said, as at least two cops drew their weapons.

Chan began advancing toward them down the stairs with the gigantic knife, causing them to fire a hail of bullets at him in an explosion of loud bangs.

The cleaver-wielding man then tumbled down the stairs and collapsed onto the landing of the stairwell.

EMS administered CPR to Chan before he was rushed to Bellevue Hospital, where he was pronounced dead, cops said.

His father, Chung Chan, 75, was found with a laceration to his head on the second floor of the building, with investigators determining he was slashed by his son.
