WATCH: New Video Released Shows Double Amputee Stabbing Man Before Police Shoot Him Dead as He Runs Away on His Stumps
California – Huntington Park police officers last month fatally shot an armed double amputee trying to run away on his stumps.
Anthony Lowe Jr., the 36-year-old double amputee, was armed with a 12-inch butcher knife and had just stabbed someone unprovoked, according to reports.
Huntington Park police received a call about a man in a wheelchair who had just stabbed another man.
When police arrived to the scene they saw Anthony Lowe hop out of his wheelchair with a large knife in his hand.
Lowe tried to run away on his stumps and ignored orders from police to drop his weapon.
Police first used a taser to subdue Lowe, but the taser failed.
The police department said in a statement that police fatally shot Anthony Lowe after he continued to threaten them with a knife.
According to Lowe’s family, the 36-year-old lost his legs after a recent altercation with Texas police.
Police released new video of Lowe stabbing a man he has never met before.
The victim, “Romero,” was rushed to a nearby hospital and is in critical condition after his lung collapsed.
Lowe’s family is now suing the Huntington Park Police Department for millions of dollars!
The officers have been placed on administrative leave pending investigation.
