This afternoon, August 27th at approximately noon, officers responded to a call at the Hilton Santa Monica on 4th Street and Civic Center Drive. A suspect was threatening hotel staff with a hammer. The suspect fled towards the Santa Monica High School 4th Street Breezeway but did not enter the campus. Thankfully, no students were nearby.
Despite repeated commands, the suspect refused to drop the hammer and continued making threats. Officers used a taser and 40mm projectiles to safely take the suspect into custody.
The suspect was evaluated by the Santa Monica Fire Department and in accordance with department policy, transported to a local hospital for further evaluation. Assault with a deadly weapon charges are pending
