SAN ANTONIO – A 17-year-old teen is in custody and charged with aggravated assault after San Antonio police say he barricaded himself from officers after attacking his mother with a box cutter.
The incident happened around 3 p.m., Saturday, outside of a duplex in the 1300 block of O’Connor Cove.
The standoff concluded nearly eight hours later, just before 11 p.m., according to police.
The teen was taken into custody without incident on Sunday, officials said.
Officers were initially dispatched for a call of a woman being attacked by a younger man. After arriving on scene, police said they found the 17-year-old had attacked his mother with a box cutter after an argument.
The mother was cut by the box cutter in the shoulder and she was checked over by EMS but was not taken to a hospital, according to officials.
Police said the mother had escaped safely with her other children from the teen following the incident. The 17-year-old then ran back inside the residence and barricaded himself from authorities.
Officials attempted to make contact with the teen inside via phone but were unsuccessful. Officers later obtained a warrant and were able to take the teen into custody.
This is a developing story and we’ll bring more updates as they become available.
