The Bexar County sheriff's deputy was responding to a report of a domestic disturbance Wednesday night. Authorities say the deputy had broken up a fight between a father and a son when he was attacked.
Investigators say the deputy was trying to speak with the son when a struggle ensued. Sheriff's officials say the son repeatedly stabbed the officer in the back of his head and neck. The son was arrested.
