Sottosanti says officers asked the man to exit the vehicle, at which time he grabbed the hammer.
Officers were able to disarm the man who then allegedly charged at police yelling that he wanted to be shot.
Constable Sottosanti says during a search of the suspect, officers discovered 26 g of crystal methamphetamine and several more knives.
The man is facing a long list of charges including assaulting police with a weapon, resisting arrest, possession for the purpose of trafficking and breaching bail conditions.
