Overview
- The attack, reported to 911 Wednesday just after 7 p.m., involved a knife-wielding person chasing a couple inside an East Troy home.
- Officers arrived within minutes and the couple exited the home as East Troy Fire Rescue took the man, who had been stabbed in the head, to a local hospital.
- Police established a perimeter, called in Walworth County SWAT, used chemical agents, and searched the house and area with drones when the suspect did not respond.

- Illinois authorities later arrested Hayes on suspicion of attempted homicide, and East Troy police said they will send the case to the Walworth County district attorney in the coming days.
