Five police officers in Taunton, Massachusetts, were wounded by a knife-wielding suspect who allegedly began slashing erratically in their direction during a 15-minute altercation.
Taunton Police Chief Edward Walsh, who responded to the scene from his nearby home, was also wounded during the altercation after the suspect allegedly swung the knife at him and stabbed him in the torso.
Walsh was able to deploy his Taser on the suspect, resulting in his apprehension at around 7 p.m., approximately 15 minutes after the initial interaction on the side of the road, according to the department. Walsh was treated for his puncture wound at Morton Hospital and was released Tuesday evening. The remaining two officers were injured while arresting the suspect and were also treated at Morton Hospital. As of Wednesday morning, the officers' injuries are not life-threatening, Walsh said.
