Stranger tries to strangle fisherman from behind in 'unprovoked' attack, CA cops say
Briefly

John Broeksmit, 31, was charged with attempted murder in relation to the Sept. 19 incident, the Santa Monica Police Department said in a Sept. 25 news release.
Broeksmit has had a number of run-ins with California law enforcement this year, including arrests on counts of public intoxication, possession of a weapon on school grounds, and tampering with a firearm.
The fisherman called 911; however, Broeksmit fled before officers arrived, police said. The two men did not know one another, according to police.
Broeksmit, who is being held on $2 million bail, is expected to appear in court Oct. 8, online jail records show.
