A man is in the hospital after being shot by a North Miami Beach police officer Saturday morning, following what investigators say was a bogus 911 call about a stabbing.

Police Chief Juan Pinillos said officers were dispatched around 9:47 a.m. to Northeast 164th Street and 16th Avenue after a call claimed someone had been stabbed. When officers arrived, they encountered a man holding a knife. According to police, the officers gave several verbal commands to drop the weapon, but the man refused and charged at them. An officer then fired, striking the suspect.

The man was taken to the hospital, where he underwent surgery and was last reported in stable condition. No officers were hurt, and police recovered the knife at the scene. On Sunday, authorities identified the suspect as 21-year-old Roosevelt Joseph. 

North Miami Beach police say stabbing report was false

After the shooting, officers searched the area for a stabbing victim but did not find one. Investigators believe Joseph may have placed the 911 call himself to lure officers to the scene. 

"It appears as though the call was a bogus call, possibly placed by the suspect, and he looked like he wanted the encounter with the police," Pinillos said.

Neighbors told CBS News Miami the shooting was unsettling but not entirely surprising. 

"It's scary. It's very scary because I just recently moved here from Pembroke Pines. And this is what I moved into? Really?" said Mariam Estock, who lives nearby. She added that the area has frequent police activity.

The street was shut down for several hours while investigators worked the scene. 

The Florida Department of Law Enforcement is leading the investigation into the shooting. The officer who fired has been placed on administrative leave, following department protocol.
