Santa Rosa police arrested a man in the unprovoked stabbing of a woman at her front door.
Police say Jesse James Graham, 40, attacked the victim without warning at around 11:42 p.m. Tuesday. This was as she got home from work and was trying to unlock her front door in the 1000 block of Jennings Avenue.
That’s when investigators say Graham stabbed her in the back. The victim suffered a life-threatening injury and had to have emergency surgery.
The man had come from the area of a parking lot and railroad tracks, according to officers. He appeared to follow her from her car to her door.
Police say Graham then ran north through the complex.
Detectives combed through surveillance video and eventually arrested the suspect after identifying him. He was arrested after getting out of an apartment on Jennings Avenue.
The woman is now in stable condition.
Police say they do not have a motive for the attack.
Graham had been in contact with the police in the past.
