Shocking moments were caught on camera as a Cincinnati police officer fought off a murder suspect trying to steal his gun.
The officer is seen working to change Robinson’s handcuffs when he makes a quick glance at the gun.
The officer manages to keep both hands on the holster as his colleagues run in and help.
A 13-second struggle ensued between the suspect and three cops, which culminated in Robinson getting subdued with a stun gun after yelling “Kill me!” six times.
– and quickly moved his hand to the holster, briefly grabbing hold of the sidearm, WXIX reported.
A report obtained by Fox said one officer, James Ball, sustained several injuries to his face, including his lip.

Robinson also faces charges of drug possession and having a weapon under disability, WXIX reported, as police said he was found with heroin in his sock during his arrest.
