A 28-year old man is in custody after allegedly attacking his neighbor with a machete, and the victim is out of a coma.

It happened Sunday night. The victim in this case suffered traumatic injuries but is expected to survive.

Fremont police tell KRON4 the victim has regained consciousness and has given a statement to police. But at this point, there is no motive for this attack.

Fremont police say Zekria Joyaa is in custody, facing felony counts of mayhem and attempted murder.

Joyaa is accused of using a machete-like weapon to attack John Mosley. The attack is alleged to have occurred Sunday morning in the 3000 block of Rockett Drive in Fremont.

Officers responding to a 911 call for help found the victim bleeding and suffering from multiple lacerations to his hands, face, torso, and neck. According to Mosley’s daughter, who was home at the time, the suspect had assaulted her father without warning.

Before being taken to the hospital, Mosley was able to tell police that he was attacked by a neighbor. Upon further investigation, Joyaa was found in nearby Union City at his brother’s house.

He was taken into custody and allegedly told police that he had blacked out and doesn’t remember attacking Mosley.

Meanwhile, Mosley’s injuries are said to be significant, but he is expected to survive. He could possibly lose sight in one eye.

His family has set up a GoFundMe page to help raise money for his medical expenses.

Joyaa meanwhile is being held without bail and is scheduled to enter a plea in court next week.

Anyone with information about this case is asked to contact the Fremont Police Department.
