According to the LAPD, officers responded to the 3000 block of Glenn Avenue on reports of an assault with a deadly weapon incident at about 1:45 a.m. The reports stated that a man assaulted another person with a knife inside of an apartment complex

Upon arrival, officers found the man in front of the building. Officers attempted to de-escalate the situation by telling the man to drop the knife, the LAPD said.

At that point, officers deployed a 40mm foam round, which led to the man being taken into custody.

The man, who remains unidentified publicly, was transported to a local hospital in stable condition.

The man's knife was recovered at the scene. No other individuals, including officers and civilians, were injured.
