Newly-released footage taken from police body cameras have revealed the dramatic moment officers opened fire on a former NFL player as he was apparently about to stab his girlfriend.

The video shows two officers shooting former New York Giants recruit Jermaine Green, 32, six times as he held Katrina Johnson, 37, at knifepoint in a home in Daytona Beach, Florida in September.

Both sustained non-fatal gunshot wounds; Green was shot in the hip, abdomen and right arm, while Johnson was hit with a seventh bullet in her right arm, the footage shows.

It was released as authorities investigate whether officers Richard Maher and Kevin Connelly were justified in opening fire during the September 25 incident.

The Video is below.
