INDIANAPOLIS — An Indianapolis police officer suffered minor injuries early Sunday after his service-weapon discharged during a struggle with a man having a mental crisis.

The following is a summary of events from the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department:

On Sunday, August 22, 2021, at approximately 1:53 am, officers with the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department (IMPD) Southeast District responded to check the welfare of an individual experiencing a mental/emotional crisis as well as suicidal thoughts. Once on scene, officers contacted the individual and his family members. The officers used their mental health and de-escalation training while speaking with the male.

While waiting for an ambulance to transport him to the hospital for evaluation, the male, unprovoked lunged at the officer and grabbed the officer’s gun, which was holstered.
