This morning, January 4, at about 9:28 am, Culver City Police responded to Ocean Drive and Westwood Boulevard regarding an assault with a deadly weapon that had just occurred in the La Ballona Creek area.
Officers quickly converged on the area and learned that the victim and his juvenile daughter were exercising along the bike path of the La Ballona Creek when a suspect emerged and started violently swinging a knife in the victim's direction for no apparent reason.
The victim nor his daughter were injured during this incident and they fled from the attacker. Police canvassed the area and swiftly located and detained the suspect without incident in the Culver City Middle School parking lot, adjacent to the footbridge. Due to winter break, there were no students present at the time of the incident. The knife used in this crime was discarded by the suspect moments before he was detained but was recovered by officers at the scene.
The suspect , who has not been identified by police, was arrested for assault with a deadly weapon and booked at the Culver City Jail.
