Fort Worth police arrested a machete-carrying man on drug charges Friday after a FOX 4 news crew spotted and followed him for about a mile, helping officers locate a person of interest in two attacks near Capps Park.<\/p>\n
Police had not confirmed that the unidentified man carried out either attack as of the station\u2019s Friday report. Officers found illicit drugs and a machete in his possession, FOX 4 reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n Two victims suffered minor hand wounds<\/p>\n Officers responded at about 6:15 a.m. Friday to Capps Park<\/a>, 907 W. Berry St., after a victim reported a man attacking people with a machete.<\/p>\n The victim suffered a small cut to his hand and declined medical treatment. Police then learned that a second attack had occurred about 45 minutes earlier. The second victim also suffered a minor hand wound and declined treatment, CBS News Texas reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n Fort Worth police described both attacks as unprovoked. The man left the area before officers arrived.<\/p>\n News crew relayed the man\u2019s location<\/p>\n FOX 4 reporter Casey Stegall and photojournalist Richie Roberson went to the park later Friday to cover the attacks. They spotted a man sitting at a picnic table who matched the description police had released and appeared to have a machete.<\/p>\n Stegall and Roberson called police, who asked them to follow the man from a safe distance and relay his location. The crew trailed him for about a mile along Berry Street until multiple police units stopped him near South Grove Street.<\/p>\n Police said the man\u2019s clothing matched the descriptions provided by the victims. Officers also recovered a machete and illicit drugs from him.<\/p>\n \u201cOne of the things that we always share is that if you see something, say something,\u201d Fort Worth Police Officer Buddy Calzada said<\/a>.<\/p>\n Police await a victim identification<\/p>\n Police identified the arrested man only as a person of interest. Investigators said they still need one of the victims to identify him in a photo lineup before they can connect him to the attacks.<\/p>\n The station blurred the man\u2019s face because police had not linked him to the attacks. Authorities had not released his name or age.<\/p>\n Anyone with information may call<\/a> Fort Worth police at 817-392-4222.<\/p>\n
