AUSTIN, Texas - A man was arrested after chasing two victims with a knife in downtown Austin late Sunday night, according to an arrest affidavit.

According to the arrest affidavit, on Sunday, June 9, around 11:36 p.m., the two victims were parking their car in a parking lot near the intersection of E. 7th and Trinity Streets.

The suspect, 46-year-old Terry Bailey, was in the parking lot yelling and screaming aggressively. One of the victims said he believed Bailey was on drugs.

Bailey approached the victims as they were getting out of their car and asked "Y'all wanna start something?" One of the victims replied they were not trying to fight Bailey. Bailey then pulled a knife from his waist band, swinging it downward and saying "Y'all wanna f----- fight or what?"

Bailey then sprinted toward one of the victims, who ran away, falling and injuring his knee. The other victim distracted Bailey. The first victim ran to his car and got into the driver's seat.
