Police in Anaheim are asking for the public’s help to find the person who attacked a local business owner and left them with major injuries.

The attack happened on Dec. 9 around 10 p.m. at a store near the intersection of Anaheim Boulevard and South Street, police said.

According to the Anaheim Police Department, a man attacked the business owner inside the store. The unidentified victim suffered serious injuries that police officials described as “severe.”

On Friday, the Police Department released two images of the suspect with a plea to the public for help locating him.

“Any information you have could help us bring justice in the case,” the Police Department wrote in a post to Instagram. “Your assistance is appreciated.”

Anyone who might recognize the man is urged to contact the Anaheim Police Department at 714- 765-1900. Anonymous tips can be made online or by calling Orange County Crime Stoppers at 1-855-847-6227.

Bluey, a blue heeler dog from the children’s show of the same name, will be making her theme park debut at Disneyland and Walt Disney World next year. Walt Disney Co. also announced that the character will join the Disney Cruise Line as well.

“Beginning in January 2025, onboard Disney Cruise Line voyages originating from Australia and New Zealand, families can interact with Bluey and her sister, Bingo, like never before. From special meet-and-greets to an interactive and clue-filled game that ends in a dance party featuring Bluey’s signature moves, families in the region can embark on a magical holiday with their favorite blue heeler,” the company said in a news release.

The company will share more details about how guests can meet Bluey and her family at Disneyland Resort and Walt Disney World Resort in the coming months.

The announcement comes amid an expanded partnership between Disney and BBC Studios, the commercial arm of the BBC that distributes the popular Australian animated series, and Ludo Studio, which produced the program.

It’s not completely unusual for Disney to highlight other intellectual property in its theme parks. For example, the Star Wars and Muppets attractions were in place at Disneyland and Walt Disney World before Disney bought LucasFilm and Jim Henson Productions, respectively.

The companies also announced that a Bluey movie will be released theatrically in 2027, with Disney leading distribution.

The show follows a family of cartoon dogs who live in Brisbane, Australia.

A man was arrested after authorities said he intentionally crashed his car into deputies following a pursuit in San Bernardino County.

Stephen Bloomer, 52, of Twentynine Palms was arrested for the destructive incident, the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department confirmed.

On Dec. 16, deputies spotted the suspect’s Corvette speeding on Twentynine Palms Highway, near the intersection of Torres Avenue in Joshua Tree shortly before 1 p.m.

Authorities tried pulling Bloomer over but he refused, leading patrol units on a chase.

As he continued driving erratically and speeding down the road, deputies said they canceled the pursuit for the safety of other drivers.

Later that day, a California Highway Patrol officer spotted Bloomer and his Corvette at a Circle K in Morongo Valley. The CHP officer attempted to detain the man but at that moment, he reversed his Corvette and crashed into the CHP vehicle. 

A second deputy who arrived at the scene parked their patrol car near the Circle K lot. The vehicle was occupied by a third deputy inside.

At that moment, the suspect stepped on the gas pedal to accelerate and rammed directly into the occupied patrol car, officials said. The deputy inside suffered minor injuries and was transported to the hospital for treatment. He was later released.

Bloomer was apprehended at the scene and arrested for attempted murder of a peace officer and felony assault on a peace officer.

The incident remains under investigation. Anyone with information is urged to call Deputy Richard Maldonado or Detective Tyler A. Bengard of the Morongo Basin Sheriff’s Station at 760-366-4175.
