In a disturbing incident, an intoxicated man armed with a knife attacked two San Jose police officers as they attempted to arrest him. The confrontation began near a Target store following reports of a disturbance. The suspect, Eli Scott, displayed aggression towards the officers, resulting in a serious injury to one officerâs arm before he was eventually disarmed. Fortunately, the injured officer is expected to recover after surgery. Scott, with a prior criminal record, faces multiple charges including attempted murder of police officers, highlighting the dangers law enforcement face daily.
Every day, our officers put themselves in harm's way to protect others. This violent attack is a stark reminder of that reality.
The wounded officer has been in the department less than three years and required surgery for serious, but non-life threatening injuries.
