On or about December 3, 2025, at approximately 3:50 P.M., officers responded to a call of a person with a knife at the Sencha Tea Bar at [ADDRESS REDACTED] South, Minneapolis, Hennepin County, Minnesota.

Officers arrived at Kowalski’s and located a female matching the description given by the callers. They identified the female as OLGA GUZMAN, [DOB REDACTED] (“Defendant” herein). Defendant was holding a black folding knife in her hand when officers arrived on scene. Officers were able to remove the knife from her hand, and they attempted to take Defendant into custody. While doing so, Defendant was acting very erratic. Officers tried to explain what was going on, but Defendant resisted arrest. Officers attempted to handcuff Defendant, and she continued to pull her arms away from officers.
Defendant unclasped one officer’s weapon holster. Officers eventually succeeded in handcuffing Defendant. While attempting to put Defendant in the back of a squad car, Defendant kicked at officers multiple times. Defendant grabbed onto one officer's watch and vest ("Victim 1" herein). Defendant scratched Victim 1’s face, causing Victim 1 to bleed from the scratches. Other officers on scene noted a visible scratch on Victim 1’s face, approximately 1-2 inches long. Victim 1’s nail was also split and ripped during the incident, and he suffered an abrasion on his hand.
Officers suspected Defendant was a person in crisis at the time of the incident. Officers noted Defendant was acting erratically and yelling about being a child of either the Rothschild [NAME REDACTED]. Defendant was also yelling about kidnapping and organ harvesting. Defendant told officers she has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder. Officers suspected Defendant was potentially having delusions and was a danger to herself or others. Due to this, officers requested EMS transport Defendant to the hospital.
After clearing the scene at Kowalski’s, officers went to the Sencha Tea Bar. Officers spoke with R. S. (“Victim 2” herein). Victim 2 told officers he was sitting on a couch in the store when a female, later identified as Defendant, approached him. Victim 2 and Defendant engaged in conversation for some time until Defendant became agitated. Defendant took a pocketknife out of her pocket and opened and closed it while rambling. Victim 2 stood up from the couch and began to walk away from Defendant, but Defendant walked towards Victim 2 with the pocketknife open.
