Man charged with attempted murder of parents

A 28-year-old man has been charged with attempted murder after his elderly parents were stabbed on the weekend.

Police report that at about 2:41 a.m. Sunday a man entered a westside home and stabbed a 72year-old man and 62-year-old woman while they slept in their bed.

The elderly man sustained serious, but non-life-threatening injuries and was taken to hospital where he was treated and released. His wife was treated on scene by EMS. Police located the couple’s son a short distance away and he was arrested without incident.

The man, whom police have not identified, is charged with two counts of attempted murder and two counts of aggravated assault. He was remanded following a judicial interim releasing hearing, and is scheduled to make his first court appearance Wednesday.

He has also been ordered to undergo a psychiatric assessment before his court hearing.
