ATTICA, N.Y. (AP) - State police say a 48-year-old man has been charged with attempted murder after he pulled a knife on a county sheriff while attacking the sheriff along a western New York road.
Troopers say Wyoming County Sheriff Gregory Rudolph was in uniform and driving an unmarked police vehicle while headed to work Tuesday morning when a vehicle tailgated his car and flashed its lights. Troopers say when Rudolph pulled over to see if the driver needed assistance he was confronted by Lynn Hall of Castile (KAS’-teyl).
Police say Hall attacked Rudolph, tried to grab his handgun, ended up on top of Rudolph with a knife and threated to kill him. Two passers-by and an off-duty trooper intervened.
