The officer’s cruiser was struck by the other vehicle and the officer was stabbed in an assault. The officer remains in hospi tal with serious injuries.

Shortly after 4:30 a.m. an Alert Ready message was broadcast through cell phones and media in Hastings County to warn of a potentially dangerous situation and to “shelter in place”.

The wanted individual has now been arrested and taken into custody without further incident.

Further details will be released when available.
