San Jose machete attack leaves man hospitalized, sparks hours-long police standoff

We begin tonight with developing news out of the South Bay where police say a suspect with a machete attacked a neighbor and then barricaded himself inside a house in San Jose, refusing to come out. KTVU's Betty Yu, live tonight at the scene. Betty, what's the latest there? Well, Mike, just minutes ago, San Jose police just took down the crime tape and began clearing out of this area. They were just standing right behind me speaking to some residents in front of this home. All of this after an hours long standoff involving a man accused of attacking his neighbor with a machete. Now this afternoon, we watched as heavily armed officers surrounded a home here in East San Jose. We saw what appeared to be the suspect taken into custody. Officers were seen placing him on a gurney, tending to him and then securing restraints around his ankles. There was a heavy police presence in this East San Jose neighborhood for much of the day. Officers armed with rifles, including one with a police K-9 and a SWAT vehicle, all responding to the 1800 block of Naples Drive. San Jose police say they were called here just after 9 this morning for a disturbance involving a weapon. Investigators say a man attacked his adult male neighbor with a machete. The victim was taken to a hospital and the suspect then retreated into his home, refusing to come out for several hours. Meanwhile, neighbors gathered all along the street watching this standoff unfold. I spoke with several neighbors, but they did not want to speak on camera. They told us violence in this part of East San Jose isn't all that unusual, but this particular kind of violence is out of the ordinary. Now, at this time, we don't know what led up to this attack, and we also don't know the condition of the victim, but we will continue gathering more details and bring them to you as soon as we get them. Mike. Got it. Betty, you live tonight in the South Bay. Betty, thank you for that.
