A man has been charged with attempted murder after allegedly stabbing a Duluth Police officer with a sword during a four-hour police presence in downtown Duluth a week ago.

Authorities say Dougherty barricaded himself inside an apartment and allegedly threatened to harm others during the incident. Officers could hear him “yelling, growling, and screaming” inside the unit. He also referenced Satan and asked officers to shoot him.
