Tzvi Allswang, 20, suffered serious injuries but survived and was booked into the Palm Beach County Jail on Wednesday, the sheriff’s office said.
Deputies responded to Allswang’s home in Boca Raton around 6:30 p.m. on Saturday after receiving a call from the victim’s partner asking them to do a welfare check.
A probable cause affidavit obtained by The Post said the caller told officers her partner had not returned home from her client’s home after their treatment.
When deputies approached the residence, they heard a woman screaming for help and forced their way inside.
When they arrived in the master bedroom, deputies found Allswang standing inside a closet and holding a knife to a woman’s throat, authorities said.
After Allswang refused repeated commands to drop the knife, Sgt. William Nogueras shot him once in the head, allowing the hostage to break free.

The woman was taken to a hospital in stable condition and treated for head and body injuries from Allswang’s alleged beating and rape.
During an emotional interview with investigators, the woman said she had gone to Allswang’s home for a therapy session last Friday night.
He said he knew Allswang had a sexual battery charge as a minor.

At the end of their encounter, the victim said, Allswang grabbed her around the chest in a “bear hug” and told her she couldn’t leave. He then removed the woman’s phone and bound her hands behind her back with duct tape, according to the affidavit.
“During the night she begged him several times to let her go and said he was not going to let her go,” the court document said.
Allswang allegedly hit the therapist all over her body with his hands and knees, bit her nipple and raped her “multiple times,” including with a vibrating massager, which the victim said “really hurt her.” .
The woman told detectives that on several occasions during her captivity, she thought Allswang was going to kill her.
When deputies finally responded to the home, the woman said, Allswang put a large kitchen knife to her throat and warned her to be quiet “or he was going to cut her throat,” according to the filing.
