Columbia police have identified the man that falsely claimed to have killed his child and then charged officers with a knife at a mobile home park Monday afternoon.

The man charged at officers with a knife and was subdued with a stun gun and taken to a hospital, police said.

Bravo was taken into custody for first degree assault on law enforcement.

No injuries were reported.
