Lethal thumb nail

[WTR]

My friends chased down a robber. He had no visable weapon and was very slight in stature ( 5' 8" 120 lbs..... Heroin addict). He was chased down, cornered and they moved in to restrain him. He began flaying his hand at them wildly. He was taken down and they found he had a piece of razor blade glued under his thumb nail. His parole was violated and he was sent back to serve the remainder of a 10 year sentence.

I forgot to ask, are your friends LEO, or were they responding to him trying to rob them or a friend?

He just picked the wrong office parking lot. They chased him down and held him for the Police.

Irrespective of how efficient that may or may not be; doesn't that constitute 'aggravated assault' by the junkie under Texas law?
