Miami Police Shoot Machete Wielding Man
MIAMI (CBS4) ―
A man allegedly wielding a machete was shot by police Saturday evening, according to Miami police spokeswoman Kenya Alfonso said.
Alfonso said the incident unfolded at 6:35 p.m. just under the highway that leads to the criminal courthouse in the area of Northwest 14th Street and 12th Avenue.
Police said a Miami-Dade corrections officer flagged down a Miami Police officer after seeing the man swing a machete at another man.
Police were interviewing witnesses on the scene. No one else was hurt, Alfonso told CBS4's Tiffani Helberg.
