UPDATE: A man was shot after he repeatedly punched a police officer and tried to take his gun in Cheltenham Township, according to investigators:
Both Yim and the officer had their hands on the gun, investigators said. As they continued to wrestle over the weapon, a shot was fired, striking Yim in the left chest and shoulder area, police said. Both the initial officer and a second officer who had just arrived at the scene chased after Yim. The second officer then used his Taser on Yim who eventually fell to the ground and was taken into custody, investigators said.
Yim was taken to Abington Memorial Hospital where he was treated for a single, non-life-threatening gunshot wound. He will be charged with attempted murder, aggravated assault, disarming a law enforcement officer and resisting arrest. He will be arraigned Saturday at the Montgomery County Correctional Facility.
The officer was taken to the hospital where he was treated for injuries he suffered to his head and face. The Montgomery County District Attorney's Office will investigate the incident which is protocol for a police-involved shooting. They are not releasing the name of the officer. They also said the officer’s body camera captured the incident.
