A 22-year-old San Diego County man was behind bars Friday on suspicion of stabbing an ex-girlfriend at an undergraduate housing complex on the campus of UC Irvine.
Rosendo Francisco Aguilar of Solana Beach was booked on suspicion of attempted murder and was being held in lieu of $2 million bail, according to UCI spokeswoman Laura Rico.
About 5 p.m. Thursday, police were called to the Vista del Campo Norte student housing on Arroyo Drive, Rico said. The victim, who is a UCI student, had sustained multiple stab wounds, but she’s expected to survive, Rico said.
Aguilar, who is not a UCI student, allegedly attacked his ex-girlfriend, whose name was withheld, in a hallway of the student housing complex, Rico said. Another UCI student who heard the victim screaming ran over and intervened, she said.
The good Samaritan got into a scuffle with Aguilar and managed to detain him in a parking lot of the apartment complex until police arrived, Rico said.
