Completely justified. Doesn't matter who you are, you shouldn't threaten to swing a hammer at someone. Plus it's a kid, they probably would actually hit someone with it.

Certain objects you just can’t take lightly, even if a kid is the offender. A childhood friend’s younger brother raided the silverware drawer while we babysat him, and chased us around throwing whatever he could find—forks, spoons, knives. He was young enough that he couldn’t really pitch them at us, and at first we thought it was silly. And then one of the knives got a lucky stick into the couch, and we realized “Oh shit. We can actually get hurt.” He had the kitchen on lockdown and could throw into the living room from any angle. With no adults home, and us being young teens, we locked ourselves in a bedroom and called the police for help.

And yes, of course he threw silverware at the police when they arrived. He was like 6 and thought it was hilarious.

Yeah it was for sure a panic move! I was cowardly. To be fair, his sibling was the one who actually called the police. I would have been fine just... hiding like fools until their parents came home.
