A California father has been charged with attempted murder for allegedly trying to attack his estranged wife with two butcher knives at their son’s flag football game, a new report said.
Police said Russell Husges, 43, chased the mother — who has a court order against him — with the weapons at Chapman Sports Complex in Garden Grove last Friday, KTLA reported.
The estranged couple’s 9-year-old son warned his mother that Husges was "charging across the field" at her with the large knives, the report said, citing the Garden Grove Police Department.
