At approximately 5:30 a.m. Friday, officers with the Houston Police Department were dispatched to a residence in the 100 block of Pennsylvania Street in response to a report of an assault.

The reportee told officers her son assaulted her and her husband before fleeing the home, according to SWAT Cmdr. M. Howard.
