A Texas teenager who allegedly stabbed another teenager to death during a high school track meet told police that he acted in self-defense.

Days after the April 2, stabbing death of Austin Metcalf, 17, new details have emerged about the events that led up to the altercation that resulted in his death. In an arrest affidavit obtained by local ABC outlet WFAA, police said that following the alleged incident, suspect Karmelo Anthony, 17, told officers, “I was protecting myself.”

As he was led away from the scene, the defendant reportedly stated, “He put his hands on me, I told him not to.”

Local CBS affiliate KBTX also reported on the arrest affidavit, which contained several redacted names of almost 30 students who were witnesses to the alleged altercation.
