Threatening Suicide

My sister is 17. She broke up with her boyfriend last night. He is 23. They were video chatting and he was begging her to take him back. Eventually he grabbed a butcher knife and held it to his own throat and said he was going to kill himself unless she gave him another chance. He swore he would change (he had not been treating her very nicely and was controlling which was why she was breaking up) and begged her to give him another chance. She said OK. I think she did not know what else to do. So know they are back together again but it’s like it is against her decision. He is forcing them to stay together. What can I do to help her get free from this guy? Is what he is doing against the law? I feel like he needs to be locked up to deal with some serious mental problems.
