A woman says a man who appeared to be holding a knife threatened her as she waited at a bus stop. It happened about 9pm this past Friday (9/3) in the 4600 block of Aurora. The woman says she noticed the man was grinning at her before he pulled out a sharp metal object and charged at her. She ran away toward a large group of people for safety. The man then ran into traffic on Aurora on jumped on the dividing median before running into the bushes.
Police later found the suspect hiding in the bushes with two other men. He told police he ran into traffic because he’s a “pyro” who loves excitement. After searching the man, officers found a four inch metal shiv that appears to have been made from a broken spoon. The suspect was arrested for harassment.

“Pyro”? I do not think that word means what you think it means.

Sarah,
The cops actually asked him if he liked setting fires when he said he was a pyro. He said no, he just likes excitement.

Coincidentally we had an arson attempt at our condo building on Saturday 9/4 in that area.
