K-9 Hero Saves Woman From Stabbing Attempt | Grand Rapids News

At 3:35 AM Sunday, Kalamazoo police raced to a domestic assault where a man stabbed a woman, stole her car, and tried to run her over—she escaped with minor scratches. The suspect fled, but cops tracked down the vehicle and got a warrant to search a nearby house. Finding a gun and an oddly disturbed attic, they spent hours trying to lure him out before calling in SWAT. Using a pole-mounted camera, they spotted tampered insulation—and then deployed K-9 Lex, the force’s senior canine hero, who grabbed the suspect by the foot, forcing his surrender. The 41-year-old, unharmed but hospitalized as a precaution, was booked into jail. Lex, turning seven in December, has already helped nab a burglar—another standout moment for this elite K-9 unit.
