Police Shoot Man At Armonk Home After He Attacks Cop With Knife: NCPD

ARMONK, NY — Authorities say a 38-year-old man was shot twice in an altercation with police at a Westchester home.

On Monday, shortly before 12:30 p.m., the North Castle Police Department received a call for a 78-year-old resident of a home on Hallock Place in Armonk who was in need of medical assistance. North Castle officers responded along with Armonk Ambulance personnel and a WEMS paramedic. The resident was treated and taken by ambulance to the hospital.

While on scene, however, officers realized that a 38-year-old man was also at the home. The two officers knew that he had two outstanding arrest warrants from the jurisdiction. During an effort to detain and arrest the man, a physical confrontation began. During the struggle, police say the man grabbed a knife, and attacked one of the officers with it. The second officer fired two shots with his duty pistol, striking the male subject twice, according to officials.

The wounded man and the officers were taken to area hospitals for treatment. Offcials said the wounded man is receiving treatment, but his injuries are believed to be non-life-threatening. Both officers are also being treated for non-life threatening injuries.

The Westchester County District Attorney's Office and the Westchester County Police Department are investigating this incident, and the Attorney General's Officer has been notified, according to the NCPD.
