Early Sunday morning while most residents of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, were asleep in their beds, a man, woman and child were in a dire situation in the Susquehanna River.
At around 3:30 a.m., city workers spotted what appeared to be a car in the river, with people sitting on top of it, according to WGAL-TV.
District Attorney of Dauphin County Fran Chardo told WHTM-TV that the workers called the Police, and First responders were soon on the way.
It was discovered that the passengers seated atop the vehicle were a man (Miquel Maldanodo Jr.), an unnamed woman and a 2-year-old.
At some point after Police arrived, Maldanodo Jr. complicated the situation by brandishing a knife — estimated to have been four to six inches in length — and reportedly began shouting, “Shoot me. Shoot me.”
