WATCH: Police officer cheats death when bullet ricochets off body camera during savage ambush by armed suspect

Upon arriving at the home, the deputies encountered the suspect, identified as Luis Diaz Polanco, police said. 

Rivera was subsequently struck in the leg and shoulder "after a round ricocheted off of his chest-mounted body-worn camera," the department said.

Rivera, a father of three, was then placed into the back of a police car and transported to a hospital, where he was expected to make a full recovery.

Additional video shows Polanco on the ground with his hands behind his back as police take him into custody. 

He was later charged with attempted murder, according to police.

While in custody, Polanco allegedly told police he had a "horrible day" before the shooting and was previously involved in a confrontation with an unidentified woman, Sheriff Mike Chitwood said in a news conference. 

The Volusia County Sheriff's Office did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.
