Man crashes car into home, then attacks roommates with pickaxe in Lake Forest

Residents of one Lake Forest neighborhood are glad that no one was seriously hurt after a temporary resident in one of the homes there crashed his car into a house, and then got out of the car and began chasing people with a pickaxe.

Video from a neighbor's street camera showed the suspect's car zoom down the road before it slammed into the home. The video also captured the sound of the collision.

The crazed man can then be seen running down the street toward where he was staying.

The man approached his home out of breath and with blood running down his head. He slammed open the front door using the full weight of his body.

At some point, the man grabbed a pickaxe from the backyard, and not only chased around one of his roommates, but also hacked at another roommate's door for several minutes with the man screaming for help from inside. The crazed man was able to break open the door, but somehow the roommate was able to subdue the axe wielding man.

The roommate who owns the home, Eric Li, said when the man began chasing him, he thought he was going to die.

"I said, 'Please, calm down. Tell me what happened,'" said Li. "You know, he never answered, just chased me. My parents, they grow a lot of vegetables in the backyard. They have a lot of tools."

Li said he thought he was a "dead man."

He was able to escape the man and run across the street, where he called 911.

Li said he saw the man chase one of his neighbors as well.

Aim point should be right between the eyes and press the trigger…

Room mates can be sketchy, on occasion.

Amazing no one was killed. Lots of opportunities for someone to be killed.

Lake Forest? The victim was screaming, “Help me”? It’s 2023 era of psychopaths and corruption, and people still refuse to defend themselves? Amazing.

I recall when everyone tried to escape to south Orange County to get away from the spread of the LA crime and low life....But it kept moving south and east beyond the 55 fwy. Every year it got worse down there.

Roommates come from the roommate planet. They do things differently.

***Amazing no one was killed.***

“I said, ‘Please, calm down.”

Lucky for him the roommate wasn’t a woman.

It’s not just the Meth the crazed man or woman is the normal here in California you can see more stupidity here in one day then you will see in your lifetime any place else.

It’s how blue states and cities operate.
