Homeless Man Stabs Random Woman In The Head With Scissors In Lost Angeles, Leaving Them Buried In Her Skull

LOS ANGELES - Police in North Hollywood have arrested a homeless man who allegedly stabbed a 22-year-old woman in the head with scissors as she walked down the street in an unprovoked attack in broad daylight.

Jonathan Cole, 30, was arrested and booked for attempted murder. His bail was set at $3,055,000. The case was presented to the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s office, which filed one count of attempted murder and two counts of assault with a deadly weapon.

According to the Los Angeles Police Department's North Hollywood Division, around 11:30 a.m. on Oct. 10, the female victim was walking southbound on Lankershim Boulevard, near Hatteras Street, when a man walking in the opposite direction stabbed her in the head with a pair of scissors. Police said that the attack was made "without provocation."

"The victim, with the scissors embedded into her head, fled to a local restaurant, where she asked for help and then collapsed on the floor," the LAPD wrote in a press release.

Cole is not known to the victim, and the crime appeared random and completely unprovoked.
