MELVINDALE — Police officers were summoned to a residence in the 19000 block of Hanna Street on Dec. 9 where a man who was experiencing a mental health crisis was bleeding from a wound to his hand that occurred when he punched an oven.
Family members told the responding police officers that the man is schizophrenic and not taking his medication.
The man was upset by the presence of the police officers and said he wanted to “kill the devil.” Eventually they were able to calm the man enough for emergency medical service personnel to bandage his hand. The man was then taken to Corewell Health Hospital in Dearborn for assessment and treatment.
