Albuquerque police subdued a 48-year-old man who lunged with a knife at a group of protesters gathered Friday evening near the University of New Mexico in support of the Occupy Wall Street movement.

About 100 people were in the area when Miguel Aguirre - described by police as a homeless man who also was drunk - pulled out a knife and attempted to stab several protesters. No one was injured.

Police said protesters felt threatened when Aguirre held a knife with a 6- to 8-inch blade and asked, "Who wants to be first?"

CBS Affiliate KRQE reports police had to resort to using a Taser gun on the man when he refused to follow their instructions.

4. Damned glad nobody got hurt! That's fucking scary.

I know everybody is all about guns this and guns that but person with a sharp knife can kill or mortally wound a person in the time it takes to draw a gun. All that shit is fucking crazy.

Again, very happy nobody was hurt.
