Police arrested a man in Bonsall for assault with a deadly weapon and making terrorist threats after he tried to stab his roommate Sunday morning.
Joseph Russell Colihan, 55, attacked his roommate with a knife at 10:18 am on the 29000 block of Margale Lane, north of San Diego.
Colihan briefly fled after his roommate disarmed him, only to return minutes later, breaking a window to try to get back inside.
Sheriff’s Deputies from the Bonsall Substation arrested Colihan on two counts of assault with a deadly weapon and two counts of terrorist threats.
Colihan’s roommate suffered a shallow cut on his neck and refused medical treatment.
After being treated for non-life-threatening injuries, deputies booked him into the Vista Detention facility.
Anyone with information about the crime is asked to call the Sheriff's Department non-emergency line at (858) 565-5200.
