A Tennessee sheriff’s deputy, Dalton Swanger, faces a critical condition in the ICU following a brutal assault during a live episode of “On Patrol: Live.” The incident occurred when Swanger was confronting 44-year-old suspect Christopher Hensley in a wooded area of Knoxville, where Hensley allegedly struck the deputy with a brick or rock after he was lured there by reports of a shooting.

As of now, Hensley has been charged with multiple serious offenses, including attempted second-degree murder, while a GoFundMe for Swanger has garnered over $65,000 in support for his recovery.
