A man “armed with a knife” and “chasing a subject,” was arrested Tuesday by Lubbock Police.
Officers responded to the 36th Street near Orlando Avenue to a report of a person “covered in blood,” the police report said.
Police said a man was seen threatening two people with a knife.
“I observed [the arrestee] without a shirt who had blood on him advancing towards [one of the victims]… who was backing away,” the responding officer said in the police report.
“[One of the victims] was armed with a shovel and still backing away,” LPD said.
Police said the arrestee, later identified as Shawn Anthony Bulson, 34, had a “laceration on his hand” and EMS was called.
According to police records, the two victims said Bulson fell off the porch at a house on the block, and tried to get into a nearby house. The pair “advised that [Bulson] began to walk towards them swinging the knife and moving it from his right hand to his left and back and yelling ‘you want some of this.'”
The victims said Bulson chased them around a vehicle “several times screaming,” and that “they felt threatened.” At that point, police said one of the victims grabbed a shovel to protect himself, and told Bulson to drop the knife. As police arrived, Bulson dropped the knife, but was “still screaming.”
According to police, Bulson “became uncooperative” as he was placed under arrest.
Police said there was a large amount of blood on the door of the house Bulson was trying to get into, as well as near the sink inside, the kitchen counter, and on the floor and the porch of the home.
The police report stated Bulson refused medical treatment at the hospital. He “became combative and began trying to kick the rails on the hospital bed to get his handcuffs off the bed,” and “kept saying he was not going to go to jail.”
Bulson was booked into the Lubbock County Detention Center on a charge of Aggravated Assault to cause Bodily Injury and with a Deadly Weapon. Bond was set at $20,000.
