In a disturbing incident that unfolded in California, a 43-year-old man was apprehended after a chilling call for help from his father. The father, in a desperate plea to 911, declared, “he stabbed me,” prompting immediate police intervention.

The Barstow Police Department reported that the alarming call was received shortly after midnight on Wednesday. Upon arrival, officers discovered the 63-year-old father outside his home, suffering from facial injuries and cuts on his neck and finger, a testament to the violence he had endured.

According to the father’s account to the officers, his son, Jimmy Vincent, a resident of Barstow, had inexplicably armed himself with a knife. In a terrifying turn of events, Vincent threatened to kill his father, assaulting him with punches and attempting to stab him. The situation was further complicated by the fact that Vincent remained inside the house, still wielding the knife.

In response, police swiftly set up a perimeter around the residence. The tense standoff concluded with Vincent emerging from the house and being taken into custody without further incident. Meanwhile, medical staff attended to his injured father, and officers found a bloody kitchen knife at the scene, corroborating the father’s harrowing account.

Following his arrest, Jimmy Vincent was booked into the High Desert Detention Center. He now faces serious charges, including attempted murder and making criminal threats, underscoring the grave nature of the incident.

Jail records show he’s been given a $1 million bond and is due in court on Friday.
