Cell phone video shows aftermath of fatal knife attack in Beverly Hills – NBC Los Angeles

A new video captures the aftermath of a disturbing knife attack that left a man dead after he confronted another man who was with his toddler in Beverly Hills over the weekend.

Police responded to a call about a stabbing Saturday near the intersection of Spalding Drive and Charleville Boulevard. There, a man was walking with a baby when another man allegedly tried to attack her.

“He had a baby in his arms and being attacked by an assailant was clearly a situation we couldn't just drive away from, so we pulled up right in front of them,” said a witness who wished to remain anonymous. “He wasn't present, he was having some sort of psychotic break and it was kind of scary.”

The new video shows the distraught father holding his baby in one arm and what appears to be a knife in the other hand. The video shows, from a different angle, the agitator trying to jump into the car of a good Samaritan who stopped to help the victims.

Authorities said the man with the stab wound was taken to a hospital, where he later died. His identity has not been released.

The father who stabbed him was treated for minor injuries and was cooperating with law enforcement.

Residents in the area said the violent encounter left them uneasy.

“When we found out what happened, that there had actually been a stabbing in this area, it was shocking,” said Michael Samuelian, who has lived in the area for a decade.

“I'm still willing to go out and walk around, but it makes me more cautious and more aware of my surroundings and knowing who's following me or who I might see around the corner,” he added.

The investigation is still ongoing.
