According to Forbes:
“He starts breaking the windows in the room where he was with the little girl and every now an then you’d see him with a little piece of chard glass from the window he had broken up to the girl’s neck.”
The man was eventually taken into custody without incident.
The child was not hurt. It’s not known what relation the child is to the suspect.
A standoff with Dallas SWAT ends when the suspect surrenders hours after he barricades in a Oak Cliff home with his two year old daughter. This all started after the man stabbed a relative at a nearby business @ Illinois and Corinth street. The child is ok. pic.twitter.com/hQuwfrj9oo
