Female cop attacked by hammer-wielding man

A shocking hammer attack on a female police officer was captured on her body camera, and has been released online. On Saturday evening, Detective Karli Travis responded to a complaint about noise and breaking glass on a residential street, to be met by 52-year-old Winston Tate, who was carrying a ‘blunt object,’ later revealed to be a metal hammer. When Travis calmly asked Tate to put the hammer down he ran at her and began to beat her. Travis fired her gun several times but was knocked to the ground by the force of the blows, and can be heard screaming during the attack. Travis managed to fire additional shots, after which Tate ran back to his house. When backup officers arrived, Tate was immediately arrested. Amazingly, Travis only sustained minor injuries from the attack, while Tate was charged with criminal attempt to commit first-degree assault, second-degree assault, assault on public safety personnel, and interfering with police.
