Police say the teen wasn’t there, but returned and was arrested.
But police say when an officer tried to block him from going into the home, the teen grabbed a screwdriver and stabbed at him several times while also reaching for his pistol.
They say the teen was subdued and taken into custody to face charges including assault with a weapon, assaulting an officer and attempting to disarm an officer.
Police say the officer suffered only minor injuries because of the body armour and winter clothing he was wearing.
