Steele announced Friday.in a residential backyard. Steele said Brown was listed in stable condition at Grand View Hospital in Bucks County.

Early in the morning on June 17, Hatfield police responded to a 911 call from a resident about a suspicious man who had run through the resident’s property and was hiding in a neighbor’s backyard, Steele said. There had been an earlier report of a suspicious person in the area but police did not find anyone.

Brown allegedly did not comply and was hit with a Taser. Steele said Brown stood up wielding a knife and advanced at the officer, who responded by physically striking Brown with a service revolver.
