Police dispatch reports a person with a knife at an apartment building near South Throop. Callers state that a man in army style clothing is in the hallway swinging an axe and trying to strike people with it. Officers are sent to the scene and updated that the person has left the building and may now be outside in front. The same radio traffic also mentions a woman at a different location who says her boyfriend is sending her threatening text messages in violation of an order of protection, and a separate uncooperative call about a person with a gun where no weapon has been seen.
