An officer Tased a man who was swinging two machetes at people in a Brooklyn park Monday and who told cops they’d have to kill him before he drops them, cops said.

Police encountered Angel Trujillo, 46, inside Maria Hernandez Park in Bushwick and ordered him to drop the large blades at about 8 p.m.

Trujillo then dashed down Irving Avenue and made a left on Troutman Street, about a block away from the park.

There, four officers – Bisham Ramroop, Randy Shankar, Thomas Coleman, Daniel Pagan and Ryan Kelly – confronted him and ordered him to drop his weapons.

Trujillo vehemently refused and declared “You’re going to have to kill me.”

Then one of the officers called Sgt. Tara King to the scene. King pulled out her Taser and fired at the man in the back, causing him to strike his head on the ground.

The man was taken into custody and charged with menacing and criminal purchase of a weapon, cops said. They also found three other blades in his duffel bag.
