REDLANDS, Calif. — A 54-year-old man was arrested Wednesday evening, Nov. 5, after allegedly assaulting a security guard with a trekking pole outside the Emergency Room at Redlands Community Hospital, according to the Redlands Police Department.
Police said the man refused to leave after being discharged from the ER. When a security guard attempted to escort him out, the man swung a trekking pole at the guard, attempting to strike him in the head. The guard blocked the blow with his arm, and the suspect was detained until police arrived. He was arrested on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon and making criminal threats and was transported to jail.
In a separate incident Monday morning, Nov. 3, officers responded to the 500 block of The Terrace for a report of a fight involving a knife. Police and RPD K9 Jake surrounded the building and ordered the occupants to come out. Two men exited without further incident.
A 46-year-old victim suffered superficial stab wounds and was taken to a hospital. A 74-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon and booked into county jail.
