The best you got is waving it about in a threatening manner. She did not stab the first girl.
The cop could have grabbed her at that point had he not already decided to do some shooting.
The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

She was in mid-swing to stab the girl. not "holding" or "waving it around" - she rushed the girl, shoved her against the car and started to stab her, all in one motion. There was no period of waving the knife around.
