This is a separate incident, probably the same offender. The guy who flagged us down, he saw the guy trying to check car doors, and then when he tried talking to him, the guy pulled a knife out of him. But I'm thinking it's the same offender because the other call was also on the same address, Cleveland. Yeah, we had about three or four people calling him with the same type of situation. No update on his direction.

That offender is southbound on Cleveland, 2300 block, almost to Belden, still checking car doors. The caller is still following a man with a knife with her children, sounds like.
