AUSTIN (AP) — The man accused of stabbing two people inside an Austin restaurant, killing a manager, has died of injuries he sustained after jumping from the roof of the building, police said.
The attack happened Friday morning on a busy downtown avenue of restaurants and apartments just south of the Texas Capitol. Police were called to a coffee shop on a report of a man standing outside with a large rock and threatening people, Austin Police Chief Brian Manley said Monday.
When an officer arrived, two people were holding down the suspect, identified Monday as 27-year-old Dylan Woodburn. But as the officer prepared to detain Woodburn, the officer's duty belt came undone, Manley said. The officer put down a set of handcuffs and Woodburn broke free, the police chief said.
