Overview
- Police say a 34-year-old man entered the Target on Tierra Rejada Road and immediately began choking a woman who was at a checkout, prompting shoppers to intervene.
- Bystanders and the store's loss‑prevention officer wrestled with the attacker as the struggle moved through clothing and produce areas and employees ordered an evacuation.
- Several customers, including a juvenile, suffered minor injuries and were treated at the scene while the originally attacked woman was taken to a hospital and is in stable condition.
- Officers arrested the suspect without further incident and booked him into Ventura County Main Jail on counts that include attempted murder, burglary, assault, battery, and cruelty to a minor.
- Cellphone video published by local outlets captured the attack and bystander response, and multiple reports identify the suspect as Rejean Tabor who police say was released from custody two days before the June 17 incident.
