SAN ANTONIO — Traffic was shut down on a stretch of Loop 410 Friday evening as law enforcement worked to remove a man walking down the middle of the highway.
It happened around 7:30 p.m. on the west side near Ingram Road. Traffic cameras showed that the only vehicles in the northbound lanes belonged to law enforcement, and several officers appeared to be talking to a man who was at that point on the shoulder of the road. The man claimed to have a weapon, according to police.
All other traffic had been diverted to the frontage road.
He has been identified as Julian Garzes, 34, and was charged with evading, which is a felony.
Video showed about a dozen officers on the road as the man backed up slowly before turning and running. By 7:45, it appeared that officers had taken the man into custody.
This is a developing story.
