A mentally disturbed California man was arrested last week after he allegedly stabbed his 7-year-old brother seven times causing him critical wounds.
Cristian Gutierrez, 24, was charged with attempted murder in connection to the May 9 incident that saw him stabbing his younger brother multiple times at their Whittier home.
“It is further alleged that Gutierrez inflicted great bodily injury and used a knife during the commission of the crime,” the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office said in a news release.
Investigators believe Gutierrez was “having withdrawals from his psych medication” when he stabbed his brother seven times.”
“This is tragic. I mean, it’s his little brother…I’m sure nobody would intentionally do that unless they had an episode, right?” a neighbor said. “So let’s get him the help he needs.”
