Wielding a large knife, Dahmer forced him into the bedroom. The victom punched him in the face, kicked him in the stomach, ran for the door and escaped. He waved for help to a police car. He led police back to Dahmer's apartment, where Dahmer at first acted friendly to the officers. However, He remembered that the knife Dahmer had threatened him with was in the bedroom. When one of the officers checked the bedroom, he saw the photographs of mangled bodies, and called for his partner to arrest Dahmer. As one officer subdued Dahmer, the other opened the refrigerator and found a human head. Further searching of the apartment revealed three more severed heads, multiple photographs of murdered victims and human remains, severed hands and penises, and photographs of dismembered victims and human remains in his refrigerator.
