Bullet Proof Vest Saves Lakewood Police Officer From Screw Driver Stabbing; Suspect Pepper Sprayed

lpd srt tlsA Lakewood police officer attempting to subdue a suspect was stabbed with a screw driver, but was saved by his bullet proof vest, police confirm to TLS.

Police responded to an early morning attempted assault by an apparent mentally-deranged man, and upon arrival officers tried to subdue the screw driver-wielding suspect, police say.

That’s when the suspect turned on one of the officers and stabbed him, but thankfully the screw driver didn’t make it through the officer’s bullet proof vest.

Multiple other officers quickly arrived on scene and pepper sprayed the suspect, police said.

The suspect was arrested and transported to MMCSC for evaluation.
