Both victims were left with lacerations but survived the attack.
The suspect fled the scene. Police responding to the area spotted the suspect’s vehicle and attempted to pull him over, but he refused to cooperate, leading police on a pursuit.
The chase eventually ended after the suspect crashed into a patrol car. He exited the car and attempted to run away but was “quickly captured and arrested,” Upland Police said.
The man was taken into custody on attempted murder charges. Police confirmed the victims knew the suspect, but no further details were released. His identity was not released as the case remains under investigation.
