According to Assistant Chief Kevin Deese, METRO police officers initiated a pedestrian stop in the 4500 block of Main Street at Wheeler Station in Midtown around 1:30 p.m. It is unknown why the officers stopped the pedestrian, but the incident escalated to the point that Deese said the person threatened to kill the officers. Around that same time, the train pulled up to the station.The person boarded the train and the officers boarded along with them.
Deese said one of the officers deployed their taser which was ineffective. According to witnesses, the officer was on the ground in some form of a chokehold, which put his safety in jeopardy. The second officer then fired their weapon and hit the man in their "lower extremities", Deese says. The officers were then able to subdue and take the person into custody.Officials say the suspect was taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries and one officer was brought to the hospital as well. The second officer remained at the scene and was treated there.
