A Texas man allegedly attacked his sister and mother with a machete, and neighbors said the victims were found in pools of blood by police.
The incident unfolded on Wednesday morning at about 10 a.m. at the Vista at Westchase apartments in Houston.
Houston police said they responded to reports of a man slashing two women and found a man barricaded in an apartment. Eventually, the man gave himself up to police.
Neighbors told KPRC-TV that the man had attacked his family members.
Kiara Bailey said she went outside and found the wounded teenager on the ground.
“I kept hearing, 'Help me, help me,' screaming, 'help me, help me,'” she said. “So, I immediately ran back in the house and called ambulance. They was telling me to apply pressure, but it was too many stab wounds to even apply pressure.”
Jamia Hardy told KPRC that the man had a second knife as well as the machete.
“It was the hand knife that you stick your hand into,” she said. “And you can, like, stab stuff with. He used one of those.”
KPRC said there were bloody footprints from the sister, who went to neighbors' homes looking for help.
“They had serious injuries. Lacerations to the deep laceration to the forearm,” said Eric Taylor, another neighbor.
“She kept saying her brother did it. Her brother did it. He’s in the house. He went in the house,” Bailey continued.
Neighbors said that the standoff between the man and the SWAT team lasted about an hour.
Houston police said he'll be charged with aggravated assault.
“I seen he just bloody, bloody, just bloody. And he came out like nothing never happened,” said Pamela Cunningham.
