Citizen helps Aberdeen officer avoid potential harm during arrest

 

The Aberdeen Police Department wants to thank a local man for assisting an officer who was struggling on the ground with a suspect carrying a knife, but they don’t know the Good Samaritan’s name.

On Wednesday around 4 p.m., the officer was sent to the 2500 block of Simpson Avenue to arrest a 14-year-old on an outstanding warrant. According to police, the suspect resisted and the officer wrestled him to the ground. As the suspect continued to resist on the ground, the officer saw him pull a knife out of his jacket.
