VISTA, Calif. (KGTV) — A man is behind bars, accused of attacking and stabbing his parents with a knife at their home in North San Diego County Wednesday afternoon.
According to the San Diego County Sheriff's Department, 22-year-old Jesus Armando Alcaraz is charged with attempted murder in connection with the incident.
It happened just after 1 p.m. in the 900 block of North Santa Fe Avenue in Vista.
Authorities say when they arrived at the scene, they found two people suffering from stab wounds and they told deputies their son, Alcaraz had attacked them with a knife and was still inside of their apartment.
As deputies evacuated nearby residents, they saw smoke coming from the apartment. SDSO says when they entered the home, Alcaraz refused to surrender and was eventually taken into custody after deputies brought in a K-9.
Vista firefighters say smoke that was coming from the apartment was caused by paper burning on top of the stove. There was no damage to the apartment.
Both stab victims were taken to a local hospital and they are expected to survive their injuries. Residents who were evacuated were able to return back to their homes.
Alcaraz was booked into the Vista Detention Facility on his charge.
