During an altercation in Malden on Wednesday morning, a police officer shot someone and sent him to the hospital, according to officials.
The scenario began with an allegation that a guy reportedly assaulted and robbed a woman on Eastern Avenue near Warren Avenue, according to the Middlesex District Attorney’s office. When authorities arrived at the location about 9:15 a.m., they saw a male, 31-year-old Dominique Matthew Long, fighting with a lady. That woman and a witness who contacted 911 informed cops that Long was carrying a knife.
Long allegedly failed to comply with officers’ demands to drop the goods he was carrying, and at one point approached on them with a knife. Officers used stun guns, however these proved ineffectual until a cop on the scene shot their weapon.
A witness reported to investigators that he witnessed a woman pursuing a man with a knife, which he suspects was part of the heist. He said he then observed cops deploy a Taser on the man, who collapsed.
Long was brought to a Boston hospital and is now in stable condition, according to the DA. An cop was also taken to the hospital for treatment but has since been discharged. Prosecutors say a 43-year-old Malden woman was strolling down Eastern Avenue on Wednesday morning when Long reportedly threw a cup at her, hit her in the head, stole her iPad, and grabbed a knife.
