MILPITAS, CA — After a four-hour standoff that involved SWAT, a 49-year-old Milpitas man was arrested on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon, brandishing a weapon and resisting an officer Thursday near Temple Drive.

Milpitas Police responded to the 1600 block of E. Calaveras Boulevard at 11:31 p.m. to a suspect identified as Titans Quang Ho swinging a kitchen knife at a woman, who was able to avoid being cut. She sustained minor injuries from falling while eluding him. As Ho fled, he brandished the kitchen knife at nearby bystanders.

refused to comply. As the standoff continued, members of the police department’s Hostage

Ho was booked into the Santa Clara County Main Jail for assault with a deadly weapon, three counts of brandishing a weapon as well as resisting, obstructing and delaying an officer.
