In the struggle the cop suffered a deep laceration to the left hand but continued his efforts to restrain the knifeman until help arrived.
Video from another officer’s body-worn camera emerged as PC Ben Jeffries was nominated for a National Police Bravery Award.
The footage shows him sitting astride the suspect, his hands covered in his blood.
Colleagues PC Nicky Brooks and Sgt Adrian Sharpe then take over and handcuff the knifeman before giving their injured colleague first aid.
He was taken to hospital where he underwent surgery on his hand.
The drama unfolded after he was called to a domestic incident in the Duston area of Northampton.
