WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — Police in Wichita, Kansas, say a man is in custody after assaulting a police officer and firefighter at a building doubling as a police and fire station. Wichita police Sgt. Nikki Woodrow tells KSNW-TV a 25-year-old man drove erratically onto the station’s lot about 6:45 p.m. Sunday, narrowly missing a firefighter and a man.
Woodrow says the driver exited his vehicle and got into a physical altercation with the two men. When the firefighter rang the police station’s doorbell, a police sergeant stepped out and was pushed and threatened by the suspect.
The motives for the suspect’s confrontation are not immediately clear.
He was jailed on suspicion of criminal threats, terrorism, battery of a law enforcement officer and firefighter, criminal property damage and driving with a restricted license.
