A nine-year-old boy screamed "die, die, die" as he stabbed his little sister with a kitchen knife.
The girl, five, was airlifted to hospital in Ocala, Florida, after their terrified mum pulled the kids apart.
The boy – who can't be named for legal reasons – was charged with attempted murder after cops found him hiding in a nearby shed.
Officers said the mum left the kids alone "for ten minutes" before discovering the attack.
A police affidavit told how the mum wrestled the knife from her son's hand as he screamed: "die, die, die".
He then fled the scene while she called emergency services.
Cops claim he knifed his sister because "he wanted to be able to go outside".
The girl was "alert and responsive" when she was airlifted to hospital.
She is believed to be in a "stable" condition.
Her brother was ordered to undergo a psychiatric evaluation ahead of a trial on February 5.
Police spokeswoman Corrie Byrd said: "This is a heartbreaking case. It was just a really disturbing scene.
"The Ocala Police Department wishes for the speedy recovery of the victim and appropriate action from the state for the suspect.
"The end goal is for both of these children to be able to return to normal functioning lives within the community.
"I think the best-case scenario here is to get this young man some help.
"A lot of people were affected by this, so we’re going to see the lasting impact here in this community."
