TOPEKA (AP) – Topeka police say the knife-wielding man suspected of breaking into the WIBW-TV studios has been booked into jail after receiving medical treatment.
Topeka police Captain Brian Desch said in a news release that the suspect is homeless. He was booked Wednesday afternoon on suspicion of six counts, including aggravated battery and burglary.
Station officials reported the man came to the station Wednesday morning complaining that the Department of Veterans Affairs was mishandling his case. Eventually, the man threw a lamp through the glass front doors and ran through the halls.
The man was tackled and held down by several employees until police arrived. While restrained, the man stabbed and bit one sales employee. Another sales employee was cut.
None of the injuries were considered serious.
