The woman reported the man "lunged at her with his fists as if he was going to strike her," according to St. Cloud police.
Police say the man sat in a parked vehicle in the roadway after they arrived. When officers told the man to exit the vehicle because he was under arrest, the man initially refused, but then stepped out with a knife.

The suspect was then taken to a hospital and is reportedly in stable condition.
The officer suffered minor injuries after being struck with the knife, which was recovered from the scene.
What's next
Authorities say the Minnesota BCA will investigate the use-of-force incident while the Stearns County Sheriff's Office will investigate charges from the initial domestic call and charges stemming from the assault against the officer.

Stockton City Council considers banning ski masks to curb crime
STOCKTON — The Stockton City Council is considering a ban on ski masks after a string of crimes involving suspects wearing them. "When you have an 8th grader robbed at gunpoint with people wearing ski masks in a city where there is no snow, you have to address some of those issues," said Vice Mayor Jason Lee. Lee is looking into the idea of introducing a ski mask ban ordinance. "This started months ago, where there was a violent crime in my district where other people were shot and they were wearing ski masks," he said. On May 30, down the street from Delta Sierra Middle School, police say two teenagers and a 31-year-old man were robbed at gunpoint by men in ski masks after a graduation ceremony. "It's a great memory and, unfortunately, this family doesn't have a great memory," said City Councilmember Michelle Padilla, who represents the district where it happened. She supports the idea of a ski mask ban and says that stopping crime starts at home. "They need to ask those questions. Why are you buying that mask? Who are you hanging out with? Where are you going after dark?" she asked. Police say ski masks were also involved in a homicide from March. Recently released police sketches show two people, wearing ski masks that only reveal their eyes, wanted in connection with that homicide. "Where there may have been pockets of crime, it's plaguing our entire city. Now, we have to address the crime that is happening," said Lee. Part of the Stockton City Council hopes that if people are walking the streets of the city wearing a ski mask, they can be stopped and questioned by police. However, some advocates here in Stockton say this doesn't address the root issues that are causing crime. "Violence is rooted in challenging educational conditions, and poverty, and Stockton suffers from both of those," said Nuri Muhammed with Advance Peace Stockton. "So until we can address those two issues, they'll have to do things like a ban on face masks." Vice Mayor Lee says the ordinance could be introduced before summer and would not infringe on religious practices.

Boulder community to come together for vigil after firebombing attack that injured 12
BOULDER, Colo. — As members of the Boulder community reeled from a firebombing attack that injured 12 people demonstrating for the release of Israeli hostages , residents prepared to come together for a vigil Wednesday. Mohamed Sabry Soliman had planned to kill all of the roughly 20 participants in Sunday's demonstration at the popular Pearl Street pedestrian mall, but he threw just two of his 18 Molotov cocktails while yelling 'Free Palestine,' police said. Soliman, an Egyptian man who federal authorities say has been living in the U.S. illegally , didn't carry out his full plan 'because he got scared and had never hurt anyone before,' police wrote in an affidavit. His wife and five children were taken into custody Tuesday by U.S. immigration officials, and the White House said they could be swiftly deported. It's rare that family members of a person accused of a crime are detained and threatened with deportation in this way. Soliman told authorities that no one, including his family, knew about his plans for the attack, according to court documents that, at times, spelled his name as 'Mohammed.' According to an FBI affidavit, Soliman told police he was driven by a desire 'to kill all Zionist people' — a reference to the movement to establish and protect a Jewish state in Israel. Authorities said he expressed no remorse about the attack. A vigil was scheduled for Wednesday evening at the local Jewish community center to support those impacted by the attack. Soliman was born in el-Motamedia, an Egyptian farming village in the Nile Delta province of Gharbia that's located about 120 kilometers (75 miles) north of Cairo, according to an Egyptian security official who spoke on the condition of anonymity because he wasn't authorized to talk to the media. Before moving to Colorado Springs three years ago, he spent 17 years in Kuwait, according to court documents. He has been living in the U.S. illegally, having arrived in August 2022 on a tourist visa that expired in February 2023, Department of Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said in a post on X. She said Soliman filed for asylum in September 2022 and was granted a work authorization in March 2023, but that it also expired. DHS did not respond to requests for additional information about the immigration status of his wife and children and the U.S. State Department said that visa records are confidential. The New York Times , citing McLaughlin, said his family's visas have since been revoked and they were arrested Tuesday by ICE. Hundreds of thousands of people overstay their visas each year in the United States, according to Homeland Security Department reports. Soliman told authorities that he had been planning the attack for a year and was waiting for his daughter to graduate before carrying it out, the affidavit said. A newspaper in Colorado Springs that profiled one of Soliman's children in April noted the family's journey from Egypt to Kuwait and then to the U.S. It said after initially struggling in school, she landed academic honors and volunteered at a local hospital. Soliman currently faces federal hate crime charges and attempted murder charges at the state level, but authorities say additional charges could be brought. He's being held in a county jail on a $10 million bond. His attorney, Kathryn Herold, declined to comment after a state court hearing Monday. Witnesses and police have said Soliman threw two incendiary devices, catching himself on fire as he hurled the second. Authorities said they believe Soliman acted alone. Although they did not elaborate on the nature of his injuries, a booking photo showed him with a large bandage over one ear. The attack unfolded against the backdrop of the Israel-Hamas war , which continues to inflame global tensions and has contributed to a spike in antisemitic violence in the United States. The attack happened at the beginning of the Jewish holiday of Shavuot and barely a week after a man who also yelled 'Free Palestine' was charged with fatally shooting two Israeli Embassy staffers outside a Jewish museum in Washington. The victims ranged in age from 52 to 88, and their injuries spanned from serious to minor, officials said. They were members of the volunteer group called Run For Their Lives who were holding their weekly demonstration . Three victims were still hospitalized Tuesday at the UCHealth University of Colorado Hospital, spokesperson Kelli Christensen said. One of the 12 victims was a child when her family fled the Nazis during the Holocaust, said Ginger Delgado of the Arapahoe County Sheriff's Office, who is acting as a spokesperson for the family of the woman, who doesn't want her name used. ___ Associated Press reporters Eric Tucker in Washington, Heather Hollingsworth in Kansas City, Missouri, Samy Magdy in Cairo, Sean Murphy in Oklahoma City and Hallie Golden in Seattle contributed to this report.
