Vigo County Sheriff John Plasse said they received a report about a man assaulting a woman.

When police arrived...the man took off to the house he held up in. That's when the sheriff called the Special Response Team.

"We had reports that he was injured. He had stab wounds on him so we kind of tried to not really rush things. We wanted to make sure he was okay," Plasse said.

Police sent a robot inside to communicate with the suspect. He told police he needed help.

SRT members went in and took him into custody.
