Man arrested after allegedly attacking three people, including a magician, at a child's birthday party: reports citing LAPD

A man in California was arrested after he allegedly attacked three people, including a homeowner and a magician performing at a child's birthday party.

The alleged attacks occurred across Pacific Palisades on Saturday, September 28, ABC 7 reports. The Los Angeles TimesAnd The Santa Monica Mirror.

The suspect, identified by the Los Angeles Timesciting the Los Angeles Police Department, Bryan Stennett, 36, committed his first attack when he allegedly punched a man in the 400 block of Mesa Road around 3:30 p.m. The victim's identity or condition was not released.

Shortly thereafter, Stennett allegedly attacked homeowner Mike Deasy as he entered his home.

“The door was still open. When I turned around to close it, this guy came up to me and started crying at me,” Deasy claimed in an interview with ABC 7.

Deasy added The Los Angeles Times that he had left his door open because he was picking up a package that had been left on his porch and both hands were busy.

Surveillance footage shared with ABC 7 allegedly showed Stennett quietly approaching the entrance and asking Deasy, “Is this your house?” before running toward him.

“I thought if he threw more than six more of those punches I might become unconscious or something worse could happen,” claimed Deasy, who was later hospitalized with “serious injuries” to his hands and face.

He told The Los Angeles Times that he was cleared by doctors of a head injury but continues to be in “severe pain.”

The alleged third attack occurred at Rustic Canyon Recreational Park, where magician Richard Ribuffo, known as “California Joe, the Explorer Magician,” was performing for at least 20 children.

Ribuffo told The Los Angeles Times that he thought Stennett was one of the parents who was trying to be funny and sneak out from behind a tree before allegedly attacking him, leaving him with bruises and swelling on his head.

Alec Egan, the birthday boy's father, and two of his friends allegedly pursued Stennett. While he managed to escape, the group followed him and kept an eye on him until officers arrived.
