SAN DIMAS, Calif. (KABC) -- In an apparently random rampage, a woman and her dog were stabbed to death at a San Dimas park Thursday.
The suspect was subdued by another man at the park he had also targeted, who hit the attacker in the head with a rock and knocked him out.
Police and witnesses say the suspect, who was armed with a knife, first tried to attack another man who was walking near Lone Hill Park around 1:30 p.m.
When the man saw the suspect approaching with a knife, he fled and got into his own vehicle.
The man with the knife then turned his attention to a woman in her 60s who was walking by with her dog.
He first grabbed the dog by the leash and yanked it free of the woman's grasp, then started stabbing the pet, police say.
He then started stabbing the woman.
At that point, the first man who had originally been targeted returned to try to fend the suspect off. He grabbed a rock and threw it at the suspect, hitting him in the head and knocking him unconscious.
Unfortunately, when paramedics arrived, both the woman and her dog were declared dead at the scene. The suspect was taken into custody and then transported to a local hospital for his head injuries. After treatment, he is expected to be booked for murder.
The suspect's name was not released, but he was identified as approximately 23 years old.
Tony Page said it was his son-in-law who was initially targeted and then subdued the suspect.
"Joe was sitting in his vehicle, watching this horrific thing take place," Page said. "The suspect at that point turned after killing the dog and started stabbing the lady. At that point Joe got out of his vehicle, looked for something. He found a rock, picked it up, he threw it, hit the suspect in the face, knocked him out. He was able to basically subdue and hold the suspect until authorities arrived."
He added that the intervention likely saved the lives of other people at the park.
"True hero," he said.
"That guy was out to kill anybody and everybody .... Who knows how many more people he would've taken?"
Isolated, random attack.
Strange things are afoot at the circle k
but we got his exact age.....wow....
There is no way in H...E...double hockey sticks, that this two guys are gonna create world peace, although Napoleon at Waterloo’s was pretty awesome.
Local news described the suspect as a 23 year old Latino male.
Motzart at the mall was epic.
It didn’t involve an AR15 and a white guy so nobody will ever hear about it from the MSM.
” random “
Drink!
Defensive weapons of the near future, after Dems chop the filibuster and pass confiscatory gun control.
Small piles like this should be strategically placed in parks and other public areas where everyday citizens are vulnerable to these vicious crazies.
Killer: Ricardo Saldivar, 23, of Upland, CA
Victim: Jeanne Ann Edgar, 66, of Glendora, CA
calls for knife control... oh wait! the left only says that when its guns!
What kind of @hole stabs a leashed dog on a walk with its owner ?!
if the woman was armed she could have protected herself..but the commie left wants us all unarmed so this kind of insanity can happen to us..local news said the perp was on drugs..gee what a shock
Ricardo Saldivar, 23, of Upland
Yeah he’s from Upland my a@@..when did he cross the border?
C’mon man, it was a white supremacist dog .
Name = Ricardo Saldivar, of Upland, CA. The site that coughed up that info is advertising another story about a random stabbing in Rancho Cucamonga that killed a mother and 8 year-old daughter, in Rancho Cucamonga earlier this month. There is surveillance video. Holmesian Questions for police investigators: does the guy in the Rancho C video look a lot like ... Ricardo? Have you looked?
Maybe because it doesn’t fit the narrative. (Not a white male, didn’t use a firearm and the victim was white?)
Obviously we need to ban assault rocks.
