Homeless 'Woman' With A Knife Is Taken Out With Beanbag Rounds, K9 Cop In San Diego

San Diego police shot a woman with beanbag rounds and used a police dog to take her into custody in downtown Tuesday after she allegedly stabbed a man and refused to drop the knife, police said.

The arrest was recorded by a bystander, and the video was circulated on social media.

Police said a 911 caller reported seeing a woman stab a man about noon on Ninth Avenue near Broadway. The caller gave a description of the assailant and said the victim was walking away.

Officers found him suffering from a stab wound to his left arm. He was taken to a hospital.

They also located the suspected assailant, who, according to police, was still holding the knife. Police said the woman was agitated and ignored officers’ commands to drop the weapon.

Officers fired beanbag rounds and used a police dog to detain her, police said. She was taken to a hospital — the extent of her injuries were unknown — and was expected to be booked into jail on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon and other charges.
