SAN ANTONIO – A man has been hospitalized after a San Antonio Park Police officer shot at him when he approached her with a knife, San Antonio police said.
Officers were dispatched to the scene around 12:30 p.m. Saturday in the 1100 block of Cincinnati Avenue after a 30-year-old man drove a vehicle through Woodlawn Lake Park and drove into the lake, according to SAPD.
A park police officer went to check on the driver. The driver then took out a knife and exited the vehicle, approaching the officer while holding the knife “in an aggressive manner,” police said.
The officer kept backing away and told the man to back down. When he continued approaching her, she fired two rounds at him.
The man was taken to a hospital and is in “critical but stable condition,” police said.
The officer has been with San Antonio Park Police for nine years, SAPD said.
There is no indication alcohol was involved, police said.
