Suspect Swings Machete at Vehicle, Pursued and Detained by Police in Sacramento

Summary: A suspect described as a TMA or HMA (possibly 'thin male adult' or 'Hispanic male adult'), medium height, wearing a gold jacket and jeans, was reported swinging a machete at a complainant's vehicle while driving past. The incident prompted a police response, with air and ground units tracking the suspect through several Sacramento neighborhoods, including Kiefer, Talio, LeBett Avenue, Westport Drive, and Ashgrove. The suspect was observed fleeing on foot while still armed with the machete. Officers deployed a taser and struggled to detain the suspect, who resisted arrest. Eventually, the suspect was subdued and taken into custody. Later, a related call reported the suspect discarding a long metal object, believed to be the machete, at 3900 West Porter. Units were dispatched to recover the weapon. The incident posed a significant risk to public safety due to the presence of a dangerous weapon and the suspect's aggressive behavior.
