Niagara Falls Police were dispatched to an apartment complex on the 8200 block of Krull Parkway around 8:20am on March 6th after reports of a suspect with a knife attempting to break down the neighbor’s door.
Upon arrival, officers made contact with the female 911 caller whose apartment was only a few feet away from another apartment the suspected was breaking into. Officers advised her to take shelter somewhere safe inside of the dwelling.
Officers then went to the back of the complex where officers told the male suspect to come outside with his hands above his head. He complied and was placed in handcuffs.
Officers observed the wooden door of a rear apartment to be damaged. While speaking with him, he was making statements such as, “I’m going to ruin your night, I’m having a strike. Wait no I’m having a heart attack.”
Based on these complaints, Niagara Falls Fire met officers at police headquarters. The suspect was then transported to Niagara Falls Memorial Medical Center.
The male is believed to have been charged with criminal mischief and menacing 2nd with a weapon. No further information is available at this time.
