After the initial assault, the man barricaded himself in his home. Police officers, who were speaking with the suspect's mother at the scene, were threatened by the man wielding a knife he had brought from his residence [1]. When officers attempted to arrest him for allegedly obstructing their public duties, the man sprayed them with an unidentified substance [1].
Around noon, police stormed the house but discovered that the suspect had already fled the scene [1]. The high school student and three of the six police officers involved were taken to the hospital; however, their injuries are not considered life-threatening [1]. Authorities have described the suspect as 173 cm tall, with a sturdy build, a shaved head, and wearing a gray tracksuit [1].
