A child has died after being stabbed inside an Arlington apartment, in a case that began when a man attacked a police officer's vehicle at a gas station and sped away. The incident set off a chase along Interstate 30 that ended with officers using a Taser to take the suspect into custody near Carrier Parkway.
According to FOX 4 News, the suspect attacked the officer's vehicle at the gas station and drove off. The pursuit stretched along I-30 before law enforcement caught up to him near Carrier Parkway and deployed a Taser to bring him down, the outlet reported.
Confession Led Officers to the Crime Scene
Once he was in custody, the suspect directed officers to a first-floor unit at an apartment complex in Arlington, per the same report. Inside, police found the wounded child, who was taken to a hospital but later died, the station noted.
Arlington police have arrested the man in connection with the stabbing, though the department has not released his name or the identity of the child, the report states. Police also have not disclosed a motive for the attack, and an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the stabbing remains ongoing, according to the outlet's reporting.
What Remains Unknown
The names of both the suspect and the victim have not been released, per the report. The exact sequence of what happened inside the apartment before the suspect reached the gas station has also not been detailed by authorities.
The case was also referenced by FOX 4 News Dallas-Fort Worth in video coverage describing the arrest as tied to a murder investigation following the police chase. As the investigation continues, Arlington police have not indicated when additional details, including the identities of those involved, might be released.
