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.
Welcome to California
SoCal ping
“Jamal Jackson”
Don’t even need to look.

**Gasp!** They used the word “Local Vagrant!” Not “homeless” not “dreamer”!
Byproduct of de-institutionalizing the mentally ill for the cheaper program of medicating them.
OMG,he died-——the lawlessness and violence is mind-boggling.
Prayers for his family.

Obviously, a man holding his daughter is not just a micro aggression, it’s a major aggression........to a man who’s father abandoned him the day after.
How awful! Anyone figure out why this happened? My daughter lives there.
Well, if the victim was white, I know the motive.
Always keep your back to the wall!
The libturds in Kalifornia will be coming after the knives now, count on it.
Prayers for his family.
Jamal Jackson deserves the max.
I have lived in Ventura County for 21 years & I have never seen so many “Jamal’s” walking around like I see now. I feel like I’m back in Long Beach or Compton.....it’s sad. Ventura is such a beautiful seaside town to now be infected with filthy, seedy trash like we have now!!!!!
My father and grandfather taught me that. "If the only seat has your back to the door, you're not hungry, you're not thirsty, you're not in the mood to play cards, and that girl isn't as good looking as you thought." I don't sit with my back to a door or even toward an unprotected open area - ever.
How do you know when a vagrant is local? Local relative to what?

I was just in CA. The place is absolutely over run with vagrants.
I’d prefer to give the max to Jerry Brown and the other California officials who are responsible for giving us this plague of lawless, dangerous “homeless” vagrants.
There have always been crazies, druggies, drunks, and criminals, but it took the Cal Democrat party to give them free and unfettered reign of our streets and our neighborhoods.
And this ghastly murder of a dad in front of his 5 year old daughter is the natural result of the political criminals who control California.
Why is a 5-yr-old at a restaurant for dinner at 9:20 pm?
