MIAMI BEACH, Fla. – A police officer was hospitalized after being stabbed in Miami Beach.
The suspect who injured the officer was shot and killed by responding officers.
Police responded in droves, shutting down busy Ocean Drive on a Saturday night.
Authorities said the officer is in stable condition.
Both the officer and suspect were taken to Jackson Memorial Hospital after the incident.
The suspect, who has not been identified by police, was pronounced dead Sunday morning.
