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?"
What a vacation spot!
Since Gascon took over, I bet this killer will be released from jail by tomorrow

As I never tire of pointing out, in any truly civilized country murderers who are apprehended “in flagrante” should be tried, convicted, sentenced, and executed within several days of the commission of their crime. No delays and no appeals.
“Who cares about a dog’s life versus that of an innocent woman?”
Correct of course, but that wasn’t my point.
How much you want to bet he was illegal BANK ON IT!!
“What kind of @hole stabs a leashed dog on a walk with its owner ?!”
.............................................
The kind who should be tried, convicted, and imprisoned, or in this case, executed within a few days of his apprehension.
Dang good throw, to knock the attacker out on the 1st try. Maybe the thrower has played some baseball?
Hubby says over the last two years, he can’t go anywhere in the LA sphere without being hussled, scammed or risk being robbed.

A major goal of the Biden regime is to implement the objectives of UN Agenda 21. Once that is accomplished it won’t be long until every city and town in America will mirror the tragedy of LA, Seattle, Chicago, Baltimore, Detroit, and other American cesspools.
The dog counts.also.
In the 5 years before I bailed out of the state, it was becoming almost routine to find pit bulls in nearly every neighborhood. There are many cases of them attacking walkers, joggers, other dogs on leases, utility people.
My guess is that the dog attacked him.
Leashes too!☺
Then why did the suspect just previously try to attack a male in the immediate area of the park?
Mental institutions? We don’t have them anymore. The mentally disabled can’t go there. They live in tents now.
We are the richest nation in the world and we do not protect our borders. Why?
We closed the mental institutions and released the killers and those unable to live in a modern society that has rules.
That great experiment, proves to be a failure everyday.
So now we have freedom for mental patients but no safety for citizens.
You know this HOW ?
Good reason to stab and kill owner too ?
I have been to Upland...It is not as bad as some of other cities in San Bernardino County...I think Ontario, Rialto, and Fontana are worse...
By the way, it is not hard to get to San Dimas from Upland...Just take 210 freeway...
