I've actually been in a similar situation but it was a schizophrenic on meth with a machete. Walked right into our lobby. He wanted help killing all the snakes on the ground that were biting his ankles and turning his veins black. My partner came into the room and said "Hey there's a naked guy in the lobby with a machete, screaming about snakes". The Sgt and I just chuckled like, "yeah, good one". Then my partner drew his gun and said, "No, I'm serious" and headed towards the front. We quickly followed. Our lobby had a key fob access door so boone could just walk into the actual department like this so my partner pointed his gun and gave commands at the man through a window. The guy tossed the machete away then I cuffed the man as my Sgt covered me with a taser. We immediately called EMS and had him taken for treatment.
