HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) Police say an officer in Hartford shot a man with a knife following a foot chase.

Police Chief James Rovella says the unidentified man was shot at least once in the torso Tuesday night and taken to Saint Francis Hospital and Medical Center. He is in stable condition.

Officers were sent to the area around 8 p.m. after a report of a disturbed person.
