(Photo by Evan Agostini/Invision/AP) (CNN) — Police say Redmond James O’Neal, the son of actors Ryan O’Neal and the late Farrah Fawcett, is responsible for a “violent crime spree” last month that left several people injured in Los Angeles. The 33-year-old is accused of “randomly” attacking five men between May 2 and 5, in the Venice Beach and Palms neighborhoods. Police say the attacks were unprovoked and some victims were seriously hurt. Redmond O’Neal was charged Friday with attempted murder, two counts of assault with a deadly weapon, brandishing a knife, battery and criminal threats, police said. O’Neal, who has had a history of drug and legal troubles, has been held without bail by the Los Angeles County sheriff since his arrest on May 8, for the alleged armed robbery of a 7-Eleven store, according to police and CNN affiliate KABC. CNN could not immediately reach O’Neal’s attorney. White man with red hair, distinct tattoos The alleged incidents that led to the new charges “all seem to be random,” Los Angeles Police Department Sgt. Scotty Steven told KABC. “It appears, though, based on what we know now, that it just started as an argument between unknown persons and quickly escalated with the violent acts,” he said. The motives are unknown. All five alleged attacks involve a suspect whose description, at least partially, matches that of O’Neal, including being white, with red hair and distinct tattoos. All the victims described by police were white males. Los Angeles Police Department/Los Angeles Police Department Redmond O'Neal • On May 2, a suspect punched another man and tried to hit him with a broken glass bottle in the Palms neighborhood, police said. The victim made the suspect angry when he “appeared to look at him,” they said. • Hours later, a man reportedly punched another man repeatedly in the head and threw him to the ground outside a convenience store, police said. • On May 4, a suspect stabbed a man who had looked at him as he walked near the Venice Beach boardwalk, police said, adding that the wound was “serious.” • About three hours later, people found another man lying “in a pool of blood with obvious stab wounds to his face and upper body.” Surveillance video showed the suspect walking away shortly after the victim was found, police said. • The following afternoon, a suspect was spotted at a coffee shop. When an employee confronted him, the suspect “became belligerent” and pulled out a folding knife, police said. He “lunged, jabbed and threatened to harm the employee with the knife” before fleeing, police said. After O’Neal’s arrest three days later in connection with the 7-Eleven robbery, detectives linked him to the series of alleged attacks, police said. “After O’Neal’s arrest, the violent crime spree ended,” police said in a statement, “and Pacific Area robbery detectives found O’Neal to strongly match the description of the suspect in these crimes.”<doc-sep>The son of film stars Farrah Fawcett and Ryan O'Neal has been charged with attempted murder following what police said were a series of violent attacks on strangers. Redmond O'Neal, 33, allegedly stabbed one victim just for looking at him in Venice Beach, Los Angeles. Three hours later he left another alleged victim lying in a pool of blood after stabbing him in the face, neck and upper body, it is claimed. He is said to have carried out a total of five random attacks between 2 and 5 May this year. Police said he was linked to the crimes after he was arrested on suspicion of robbing a 7-11 store in Santa Monica at knifepoint on 8 May. "After O'Neal's arrest, the violent crime spree ended and Pacific Area robbery detectives found O’Neal to strongly match the description of the suspect in these crimes," the Los Angeles Police Department said in a statement. On Friday the Los Angeles District Attorney's Office filed one count of attempted murder, two counts of assault with a deadly weapon, one count of criminal threats, one count of brandishing a Knife and one count of battery.

Mr O'Neal's crime spree is said to have started on 2 May when the first victim was punched by a "male white suspect with red hair and distinct tattoos" in the Palms neighbourhood of Los Angeles. The next day a man was repeatedly punched in the head after trying to start a conversation outside a convenience store. At around 5pm on 4 May near the Venice Beach Boardwalk, "a male White victim looked at the suspect, at which time, the suspect stabbed him with a knife", according to a statement from the LAPD. "Initially, the victim thought that the suspect had merely punched him in the back," the LAPD said. "However, once paramedics arrived, the paramedics discovered that the victim had sustained a serious stab wound to the left side of his body." Another man was attacked nearby as he walked to his car at around 8.30pm. "At 8.45pm, several people found the victim laying in a pool of blood with obvious stab wounds to his face and upper body," said the LAPD. The fifth victim was threatened with a folding knife after the suspect "became belligerent inside a coffee shop" near Venice Beach on 5 May. Mr O'Neal has already been charged with robbery, assault with a deadly weapon and possession of drugs in relation to the robbery of the convenience store on 8 May. Several US news outlets were unable to reach his lawyer for comment.<doc-sep>The Los Angeles Police Department are charging Redmond O'Neal, the son of the late Farrah Fawcett and actor Ryan O'Neal, as the man behind a violent crime spree in Southern California.

Redmond O'Neal, the troubled son of the late actress Farrah Fawcett, has been charged with attempted murder after going on a violent crime spree in which he stabbed two people, authorities said Friday. According to the Los Angeles Police Department, O'Neal allegedly committed a series of violent crimes in early May. The evidence was presented to the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office's Airport Branch on Friday, according to Los Angeles ABC station KABC, which returned charges of attempted murder, two counts of assault with a deadly weapon, one count of criminal threats, one count of brandishing a knife and one count of battery. The charges come from a series of five separate incidents in Los Angeles. O'Neal, 33, is alleged by police to have gotten into an argument and punched a stranger on the night of May 2. Hours later, on May 3 at 3:30 a.m., he allegedly got into another fight with a stranger and punched him repeatedly. On May 4, police say O'Neal stabbed a man near the Venice Beach Boardwalk, and then hours later another man was found lying in a pool of blood, stabbed in the face and upper body. Police say a man matching O'Neal's description was seen on surveillance video near the scene. The next day O'Neal allegedly got into a fight at a coffee shop and threatened staff with a knife, police said. The spree came to an end on May 8 when O'Neal was arrested for armed robbery at a convenience store in Santa Monica, according to the Los Angeles District Attorney's Office. He also was charged with possession of a smoking device, possession of an injection device and two counts of possession of a controlled substance, according to the district attorney. Police said they connected the earlier five crimes to the suspect while he was being held on the robbery charge. "They all seem to be random. It appears, though, based on what we know now, that it just started as an argument between unknown persons and quickly escalated with the violent acts," LAPD Sgt. Scotty Steven told KABC. Redmond O'Neal's father is actor Ryan O'Neal, who was in a relationship with Fawcett for decades. Fawcett, a '70s icon who starred in the TV series "Charlie's Angels," died of cancer in 2009. Redmond was her only child. The 33-year-old has a history of troubled behavior. He's been arrested multiple times for drug possession, including in 2008 and 2011. He pleaded no contest to heroin possession stemming from the 2011 arrest and was sentenced to five years of probation, according to KABC. He failed multiple drug tests, however, and spent time in prison in 2015, according to multiple reports. O'Neal is being held at Men's Central Jail. His next court appearance is scheduled for July 10.<doc-sep>
