Man stabs woman to death, suspect stabs himself in the neck after cops run him over.

So much shit going on in this video I really don't know what flair to use.

What Las Vegas police said started out as a call about battery with a deadly weapon turned into a man stabbing a woman in a burning apartment, before he was run over by a patrol car.

Officials with the Metropolitan Police Department detailed Tuesday's series of events at a press conference Friday.

With the woman trapped inside the northwest Las Vegas apartment on fire, responding officers ran over the man with a patrol car, and he stabbed himself while lying in a roadway where he died, police said.

An audio recording of a 911 call played at the news conference captured a citizen describing the stabbing and fire, while video from a police officer's body worn camera showed the man stabbing his upper body with the 8-inch bladed knife.

In the video, neighbors could be heard yelling in a panic as flames raged in the second-floor apartment, south of The Lakes neighborhood.

Attempts to free the wounded woman and her crying dog inside failed, including from someone who climbed a ladder to reach the balcony but fell onto the pavement below, according to police.

The woman who died was identified as Janika Douglas, 42, by the coroner's office on Friday.
