West University police are warning residents that a violent robber is on the loose and are looking for leads to help capture him.
Officers responded to a 911 call reporting an attempted robbery in the 2700 block of Arbuckle Street just before 6:30 p.m. Sunday. The victim opened his door to a bald, Hispanic man who wasn’t successful in entering the home, but he stabbed the victim, then fled north on Wakeforest in a small silver vehicle.
The stabbing victim was taken to a hospital by West U EMS personnel. His condition was not immediately known.
The suspect was wearing a black T-shirt and camouflage pants.
Police are reminding residents to report suspicious vehicles or individual to 713-668-0330, or to 911 in an emergency.

Where are the police when these major crimes occur? Maybe they are in Bellaire or Chicken Kitchen?

Maybe the cops are busy dealing with problem-causing “citizens” who waste City employees’ time by demanding free coffee and extra services like front door trash pick-up. Just sayin’.

Are you a disgruntled employee? The police should protect every citizen. City Council should take back police budget responsibilities. Police need to focus on protecting citizens in WUP, not calculating their next raise.
