Update: Police Recapture Domestic Violence Suspect

Updated 6:08 p.m.

KTVU reports that Hayward police have recaptured a domestic violence suspect who was inadvertently released to the public Sunday night rather than into police custody after a psychiatric evaluation.

The television station said it was told by Hayward police that Jose Salias Hernandez, 32, was taken into custody about 4:15 pm Tuesday.

In its 6 p.m. broadcast, KTVU reported that Hernandez was arrested without incident in Castro Valley.

Hernandez is wanted in connection with a prior domestic violence incident. He went to his ex-girlfriend's home Saturday night and broke a window when he was denied access, according to Hayward police.

Officers confronted the suspect in the driveway of the home, located in the 200 block of Valle Vista Avenue, at around 8:10 p.m.

Police said Hernandez brandished a large kitchen knife and threatened to kill himself.

After several minutes of negotiating with officers, Hernandez cut his throat and started to stab himself in the chest, according to police.

Police detained Hernandez and he was taken to a hospital with injuries that were not considered life threatening.

Hernandez was then taken to John George Psychiatric Pavilion in San Leandro for a psychiatric evaluation and was supposed to be released into police custody. Instead he was inadvertently released into the public Sunday night, according to police.

Police said Hernandez then took a cab to Whipple Road and Medallion Drive at the Hayward-Union City border.
