LANCASTER – An 18-year-old man was arrested Tuesday night for allegedly stabbing a man in the throat near a Lancaster bus stop, authorities said.

Jose Prado was arrested in connection with the stabbing, which was reported around 8 p.m. Tuesday in the area of 10th Street West and Avenue I, according to Lancaster Community Relations deputy Miguel Ruiz.

“Lancaster deputies received a phone call of a stabbing victim with a wound to his throat,” Ruiz said.

The victim, a 40-year-old man, was found at a bus stop with a superficial knife wound to his throat. He was treated at a local hospital for the non-life threatening injury, Ruiz said. The victim gave responding deputies a full description of the assailant, and deputies caught up with the suspect soon after, Ruiz said.

“They searched the area in the neighborhood of Kingtree and Avenue I,” Ruiz said. “One deputy did find the suspect and detain him in the area.”

Eighteen-year-old Jose Prado was arrested around 8:15 p.m. on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon and booked at the Lancaster Sheriff’s Station on $1 million bail, according to LASD inmate records.

The matter is still under investigation. Anyone with information on this incident is asked to contact the Lancaster Sheriff’s Station at 661-948-8466.

    no one knows our family struggles and what we go thru in everyday life but our choices don’t .make us a bad person just shows we do anything and everything to support ourselves if it’s to fight then we do what we do we take care of our own [removed] the law

      Actually…. If your choices harm other people, that is exactly what makes you a bad person. Actions (not feelings or struggles) are what defines the kind of person you are. If you are the kind of person who can stab another without it being self defense, then you are a bad person and need to be kept separate from the rest of society.

    Shame the victim didn’t have a concealed carry permit to protect himself. Just another Lancaster piece of trash that we will get to say good riddance to but unfortunately have to support through our taxes while away in prison.

    Okay, my nephew may have acted unjust, but no one knows…reason!!! The man threatened his mother countless times, so my 18yr old nephew protected her

          This is the most ignorant comment I have ever read. Do us all a favor & turn yourself in now. Since you share such “values” with your homie, you likely have a similar rap sheet. You’ll be picked up sooner rather than later anyway…

        Wait — His nickname was “Temper”?

          LOL. “Temper”? Yeah, I can see why he’s locked up now. Do society a favor and raise your children right. He deserves to be in prison.

    The bearded ambulance chasing Messiah in 2010 said we would walk the streets of Lancaster in safety within two years. I think he meant it otherwise.

    Did they catch him at one of the sobriety checkpoints or what?

    • ETP says

      September 11, 2014 at 8:15 am

      No, per the article there wasn’t any mention of that Mike C. – It appears it was just the result of good follow up, expedient response and citizen involvement – Good old fashioned police work – Don’t like the checkpoints huh? Bet you’d be the first to snivel like a infant if a drunk driver killed someone close to you. Until then, please feel free to continue to question the validity of these state funded DUI checkpoints – God forbid you never get that knock on your door at 3am by someone telling you that one of your family members died in an accident – Then the added bonus of having to officially confirm the remains – Ponder that horrible scenario. If your license is clean, you’re not drunk and don’t have warrants or a bag of dope in plains sight those checkpoints are no big deal –

        Well said ETP! The men and women in uniform are appreciated by the majority of the population and belittled by a small number who continually make ignorant statements! God bless those who protect and serve our communities and good win on this one!

        ETP….. WELL SAID!!

        While I am not a Fan of the “Checkpoints” I do understand them, and hope they continue to bring forth education to the poor choices that people do out there…. And maybe use some of the money they are making on the cites and Impounds.. to reteach the County Court Clerks at those windows….SOME MANNERS AND COMPASSION…. They ALL HATE THEIR JOBS and its PATHETIC!! :-)

          If you’re such a fan of getting drunks off the streets, than shut down those stupid DUI checkpoints, get off your ass and do saturation patrols. The checkpoints don’t work. The patrols do! As proven every time we get the results from one or the other. (When did it become a LEO lovefest in here?)

            It’s always going to be a LEO lovefest when they get another stupid banger off the streets. The victim called his mom names? So what? Grow up, homes. Looks like he gets to “become a man” as a guest of the State. I only regret that we have to pay to feed and clothe these losers. And any family member who’s proud of this kid attempting murder should be shipped off with him.

            Only those with something to hide fear the police.
