AUSTIN, Texas — The Austin Police Department is searching for a female victim and a man accused of aggravated assault after an incident in southeast Austin on Saturday, May 28.

Police said APD officers responded to an apartment complex in the 12200 block of Heatherly Drive around 2 p.m. and located two victims.

The two victims told police they were in the apartment complex office when an unidentified woman ran into the office and begged them to lock the door. The woman was bleeding from the head and said a man she knew was coming after her.

A man then approached the door and began pounding on it and making threats, police said. He had a gun and began pointing it at all three victims and threatened to kill them.

The woman reportedly said she should go with him or he might kill all of them. She unlocked the door and left with the suspect.
