VENTURA, Calif. (KABC) -- A man was stabbed in the neck while holding his young daughter on his lap while dining at a restaurant on the Ventura Promenade.
Ventura police received multiple calls around 9:20 p.m. Wednesday about a stabbing at the Aloha Steakhouse at 364 S. California St.
Police said the victim and his wife were having dinner along with their 5-year-old daughter at the time of the attack, which appeared to be unprovoked.
Investigators said there was no altercation or contact prior to the attack, and the victim and suspect did not appear to know each other.
When officers arrived at the scene, they found a group of good Samaritans standing along the Ventura Promenade who had chased the suspect from the crime scene onto the beach, investigators said.
Officers tracked down the suspect and ordered him to the ground. He complied and was detained on suspicion of attempted homicide.
Police identified the suspect as 49-year-old Jamal Jackson, describing him as a local vagrant.
While Jackson was being taken into custody, other responding officers found the victim at the crime scene, suffering from a life-threatening stab wound to the neck. The officers rendered first aid to the man until medical responders arrived on scene.
The victim was transported to a local hospital to be taken immediately into surgery. Following surgery, the victim was listed to be in critical condition.
The manager of the Ventura restaurant said the victim's family called to thank them and the good Samaritans who took action during the stabbing.
A motive in the stabbing was not immediately known, police said.
That’s what it appears to be: a hive mind.
Crickets.
No, you're the creepy one. Anyone (meaning YOU) who could make up and post the following after reading the news report of this tragedy has a perverted/twisted/sick/creepy mind!!!
Don't you think the setup is odd? It just occurred to me that the man was up to no good and he was using his family as a cover.
The creepiness is on your side of this fence, Donna. It is as if Nazis line up a family on the edge of an empty mass grave and shoot them dead into the pit, and your comment is how poorly the family had dressed for the cold evening.
Donna, you are without a doubt inspirational. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.
I am feeling inspired to create a new thread:
“Nurse Ratched: Villain? Or misunderstood hero? Discuss”.
either that or:
“Lobotomy: Too extreme for bad parents?”
What do you think?
LOL!
DING ding ding
Nazi?
You have a great hive family, ha.
Just be sure to get enough sleep.
What does that even mean? You are unhinged. Are you off your meds or something?
Ask your hive sisters, lol.
??? What the heck are you talking about??? You make up a lie scenario about a man who was murdered while eating his dinner with his wife and child and now you're talking about "usual race related threads" on FR. As if that's all that's discussed on FR. You either are delusional or you have some kind of other undiagnosed mental problems. It might be advisable for you to visit a doctor.
How much sleep did you get last night?
She’s starting again.
Why are you so concerned with my sleep?
Lol, I’m not concerned.
