Police are investigating the events that led up to a fatal stabbing Saturday in Beverly Hills.

Detectives say initial reports indicate there was a confrontation between two men near the intersection of Spalding Drive and Charleville Boulevard.

A witness who asked not to be identified tells NBC4 that the injured man police arrested allegedly tried assaulting a father with a little girl near that same intersection.

“He had a baby in his arm and being attacked by an assailant was clearly a situation that we couldn’t just drive away from, so we pulled up right in front of them,” said the witness, who intervened. “He was not present, he was having some kind of psychotic break, and so it was kind of scary.”

The witness says as soon as he pulled over his son jumped out to help the father and child – he then saw the man with a deep cut on his face turn his attention to his car and said he tried grabbing his dog.

“I reached back, grabbed her, and then was pulling her back, but he wouldn’t let go, so I was pulling her, he was pulling her, and then I started punching him because I was yelling at him to get out of my car.”

The witness says during this time his car slowly rolled into a yard on Spalding– and saw the injured man stumble away towards a nearby home. He added that he did not see how the fatal stabbing happened.

The man with the stab wound was taken to a hospital where he later died, according to authorities.

Police have not released the identity of that man and say the other person involved in the confrontation is cooperating with investigators.

The Orange County Fire Authority’s California Urban Search and Rescue Task Force 5 (CA-TF5) has been deployed to North Carolina to aid in hurricane relief and rescue missions.

Hurricane Helene made landfall in Florida Thursday, causing destruction across multiple states.

The multi-agency task force made up of 48 specialized personnel will assist with critical mitigation efforts, according to the OFCA. Operations include conducting search and rescue missions throughout the area.

“We stand ready to serve and support our communities, no matter the distance. North Carolina—we’re on our way,” wrote the OCFA.

Hurricane Helene made landfall in Florida’s Big Bend region as a Category 4 hurricane late Thursday with winds of 140 mph (225 kph).

It unleashed the worst flooding in a century in North Carolina, where Gov. Roy Cooper described it as “catastrophic” as search and rescue teams from 19 states and the federal government came to help. One community, Spruce Pine, was doused with over 2 feet (0.6 meters) of rain from Tuesday through Saturday.

Evacuations began before the storm hit and continued as lakes overtopped dams, including one in North Carolina that forms a lake featured in the movie “Dirty Dancing.” Helicopters were used to rescue some people from flooded homes.

At least 58 people have died due to the destruction of Hurricane Helene.
