The district attorney’s office for Alameda County recently charged a California man with five felony counts for allegedly attempting a violent crime, possibly motivated by drug reasons.

According to local police reports, the 42-year-old Oakland man twice stabbed a man who was sitting in the driver’s seat of a parked van in South Berkley before demanding the victim’s wallet. After the victim complied, the man allegedly ordered him and a passenger to exit the van. However, the passenger refused, which caused the assailant to flee the scene.
