As the officer approached a picnic table, a male seated at the table suddenly lunged at the officer slashing him with a knife; the officer received facial injuries requiring medical attention. The officer was able to disarm the male who then fled on foot towards McBride Blvd and East Sixth Avenue where he was last seen. The police are appealing to the public to assist in locating this male described below.
