A 14-year-old high school student was charged with wielding a large kitchen knife at another student before a school officer swiftly intervened.  

The teen dropped the large knife as the officer was able to hold back the young woman, who appeared to be approaching another female student.

The teen, whose name was not released because she is a juvenile, was taken into custody with no injuries or further incident, WTOP News reported.  

She was charged with first degree assault, second-degree assault, resisting arrest, disturbing school operations, affray, dangerous weapon on school property and reckless endangerment, the news outlet reported. 

The October 7 incident took place in the cafeteria at Governor Thomas Johnson High School in Frederick, Maryland.

Frederick County Sheriff's Office said the teen was observed brandishing a 'large, 8-to-10' kitchen knife in a threatening manner,' the news outlet said. 

The shocking video was posted on Facebook and has since gone viral garnering close to a million views.  

Deputy First Class Dustin Turner is seen trying to restrain the young woman, whose arms and legs were flailing in the air, in defiance. 

Once the officer restrains the teen, additional school officials jump in and help assist Turner, who places both of her hands behind her back as the weapon falls to the ground.

Authorities said initially the high school freshman 'tried to stab multiple students in the cafeteria, but was unsuccessful,' according to The Frederick News Post. 

They later retracted their statement and said that 'it appears this was an isolated incident between two students in the cafeteria.'

School officer Deputy First Class Dustin Turner was praised for his quick life-saving actions. 

'DFC Turner's quick and decisive actions prevented any students or staff from being harmed during this incident,' Sheriff Chuck Jenkins said in a statement,' WTOP News reported.

Jenkins added: 'The FCSO SRO program, recognized statewide, once again proves to be worthwhile. I am extremely proud of the professional men and women deputies serving the more than 70 Frederick County Public Schools.'
