Suspect detained after barricading himself near Children's Discovery Museum of San Jose

A man has been detained after he barricaded himself in a residence near the Children's Discovery Museum of San Jose, according to the Santa Clara County Sheriff's Office. Trains are bypassing the Santa Clara Valley Transportation stop outside the museum. 

A person called 911 just after 1 p.m. to report an altercation that took place between two people, law enforcement confirmed to KTVU. One man, whom the sheriff's office is calling a victim, was taken to a local hospital. 

Another person, whom authorities are referring to as a suspect, fled the scene and then barricaded himself in another building. Law enforcement believed he is the only person inside. 

The suspect was detained just before 4 p.m.

"A few passerbys called 9-1-1 to report an active assault going on. Prior to our deputies’ arrival, the suspect fled. Our victim was still at the location which our deputies were still in correspondence with, and he was transported to a local hospital," said Felicia Segura, of the Santa Clara County Sheriff's Office. 

Police say the suspect then barricaded himself in a home nearby. This couple says they live on the next block from where the suspect hid himself.  

"So, I went outside, and they told us that somebody had been stabbed, and he had a rifle. So, he might have gone to our backyard. They told us we had to evacuate and that’s when we came out and left," said Angelina, of San Jose. 

The neighbors also say they’ve had run-ins with the suspect before.

"A couple of times he came into our backyard, like trespassing, trying to start problems. He had come at my father-in-law with a knife before. By the time we went outside, he was already running back to his house," said Angelina. 

Raphy Clemente says he owns the auto shop off Willis Ave.

"We’ve seen him walking around here every once in a while with the dog, but this is the first time we’ve seen him really aggressive," said Clemente. 

Train service has been restored here at the Children’s Museum station. Police have not confirmed how the victim was hurt nor did they confirm the extent of his injuries.
