ORLANDO, Fla. — A man in Orlando faces multiple charges following a domestic violence incident and an attack on a police officer during his arrest, WESH reported.

The Oct. 23 incident began when Sanford Police officers responded to a 911 call reporting a possible stabbing, according to the report. The suspect had contacted police claiming his wife was attempting to stab and hit him. He informed dispatchers that he had left the scene.

When officers arrived at the residence, they spoke with a woman who appeared to have suffered injuries to her face. While they spoke with her, the suspect returned to the home.

Video shows the suspect ignoring officers’ instructions, attacking an officer and attempting to choke him. Another officer deployed a TASER, which subdued the suspect. The man was then taken into custody without further incident.

The suspect has been charged with attempted murder, domestic violence battery and resisting an officer with violence, according to the report.
