Violent disturbance leads to arrests in Fort Worth and Lawrence
Police arrested a 28 year old Fort Worth man after a domestic disturbance on West 31st Street. He jumped into a moving truck, broke a window, and cut a woman's 9 year old son. He pulled a knife on another man and spat blood at an officer. The report also notes a separate late week clash at Generson Commons with injuries. Ambulance transport followed a Tennessee Street crash where a 54 year old man was injured and a youth cyclist suffered non life threatening injuries in a hit and run. Several thefts and burglaries across Lawrence were logged including a KU student dashboard damage, a stolen Buick, cash and tools, and a Honda Rubicon theft. Emergency calls listed multiple fire and false alarm responses in Douglas County. The Journal World notes it does not print all police reports or identify victims unless charged.
