Earlier: Savannah-Chatham police are trying to find the man they say broke into a home on Savannah’s south side then cut two adults and a kid on Wednesday morning.
Asim Simmons, 41, is believed to have broken into a residence in the 400 block of Barnhill Drive about 5:30 a.m., said police spokeswoman Darnisha Green. Earlier in the night, he had reportedly made threats to people who lived there and had to be escorted away by police, Green said.
When Simmons came back early in the morning, two adults and juvenile were cut. Simmons fled, but one of the victims was able to make it to the 8900 block of Harmon Bluff Road and call 911, Green said.
The two adults — one of whom suffered serious injuries — were taken to Memorial University Medical Center. The juvenile was treated at the scene.
Simmons was last spotted near Whitaker and West Henry streets about 8 a.m. Police consider him to be armed and dangerous, and anyone who sees him should call 911 immediately.
