According to Phoenix police, officers responded to reports of a 38-year-old armed man acting violently toward people and causing damage near 44th Street and Camelback Road around 7 p.m. on Sept. 30.
The first responding officer arrived and tried to talk to the man, but he ran. The officer chased the man until he stopped near the canal.
