Police officers tackled a man who came at them with a knife after a domestic disturbance in Auburn, police said.
Auburn Police Department Capt. James Moore said in a Wednesday news release that officers were called to a Cottage Street residence at 5:13 a.m. Tuesday to investigate a report of a domestic incident.
Officers determined that a verbal argument had turned physical and that Christopher M. Liddle, 31, of 5126 Route 34, Fleming, had stomped on a woman’s bare feet with his work boots and continued to harass her by pushing her into a door and punching her in the head.
Liddle fled the scene prior to police arrival, and other responding officers located him in the backyard of a residence at 67 Wall St., Moore said.
Moore said that a brief foot pursuit ensued before Liddle charged at two officers while holding a folding knife. The officers were able to tackle Liddle and place him into custody without further incident.
None of the officers were injured. The female victim sustained minor injuries and refused medical treatment.
Liddle was charged with three felonies: menacing a police officer, criminal possession of a weapon, and tampering with physical evidence. He was also charged with obstructing governmental administration, a misdemeanor, and harassment, a violation.
