Officers repeatedly ordered her to drop the weapon, warning her that lethal force could be used. The suspect refused, claiming she had been touched and insisting she had a right to fight back. As tensions escalated, the knife remained in her hand, and an individual nearby was stabbed, prompting officers to call for immediate medical assistance. Police attempted verbal de-escalation while securing the scene and applying pressure to control the bleeding. An ambulance was requested as officers continued commands until the threat was contained. The suspect was taken into custody and treated at the scene. The suspect remains innocent unless proven guilty in court.
