The man who was shot and hit with a Taser by Cincinnati police officers Thursday had stabbed his sister and her husband, police said.

Demetrius Baker, 43, was shot in the leg during the confrontation. He survived and is charged with two counts of felonious assault.

Executive Assistant Police Chief Teresa Theetge spoke to the press Friday about the shooting. She said she was thankful the stabbing victims survived.

Theetge said police were called the Lafeuille Circle apartment in Westwood after a juvenile called 911. It was the daughter of the victims.

”My uncle has a knife and he’s stabbing my parents. They need an ambulance,” she told the dispatcher. “He won’t let go of the knife. He’s trying to hurt them.”
