Bike-riding slasher wanted for several attacks across Los Angeles by DanWhitcomb
LOS ANGELES - Los Angeles police arrested a 19-year-old homeless man on Wednesday on suspicion he is the “slasher” who has cut the faces of at least nine people, seemingly at random, as he rode through the city on a bicycle, police said.
Police released images of the man they believe to have been the slasher on Tuesday in an appeal to the public to help find him. “For no reason at all he would strike the victims across the face holding something sharp in his hand. Then he would ride away,” Lieutenant Paul Patterson of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department told the Los Angeles Times.
