A disabled man put up a fight and refused to be arrested after going on a stabbing spree.

Police in New Orleans were called around 12:30 a.m. on reports of a wheelchair-bound man with a knife.

A 32-year-old woman told police that when she stopped at an intersection in the French Quarter, a man in a wheelchair pulled out a knife and slashed the hood of her car.

The suspect who was identified as 56-year-old Keith Martin
then turned his attention to a 48-year-old man and stabbed him in the chest.

The woman quickly got out of her vehicle and sprayed Martin with pepper spray. Martin managed to wheel himself away from the crime scene.

When police arrived, Martian refused to drop the knife. Police used a Taser to take him into custody.

While being checked out, Martin reportedly spit on an emergency medical technician (EMT).

The man who was stabbed in the chest was taken to a hospital. His condition is unknown.

Martin was also taken to a hospital for a medical evaluation before being booked into jail.

He was charged with aggravated second-degree battery, battery of emergency services personnel, simple criminal damage to property, and possession of drug paraphernalia.
