Officials say the two officers held a door open for a patron, which is when the patron attacked the officers.
The suspect, identified as 46-year-old Matthew Patterson, tried to rip off one of the officer’s holster, and the second officer pulled out his taser to assist the first officer.
While defending his handgun, the officer fell to the ground, and Patterson was unsuccessful in taking the gun. Police say that’s when Patterson gave up his hold of the gun on the officer’s holster and fled.
