A suspect who allegedly lunged at officers in New Jersey on Sunday night faces an attempted murder charge, and police released body camera footage of the encounter that left one officer suffering from a stab wound. Officers with the Galloway Township Police responded to a home at about 8:30 p.m. Sunday in response to several 911 hang-up calls, the department said Monday in an updated news release.
Officer Erik Tarnow was immediately stabbed on the right side of his face with folding pocket knife,' police said in the press release, during what they described as 'a violent physical altercation.' Police added that Tarnow and Officer Hunter Thomas took Kiminski to the ground and fought with him for several minutes before additional officers arrived as backup.
