A woman was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after allegedly stabbing her ex-boyfriend in Joshua Tree, leading Sheriff’s Deputies on a foot pursuit near the National Park.
On Thursday (January 30) just after 9 a.m., San Bernardino County Sheriff’s deputies responded to a call from a man who had been stabbed in the 63500 block of Single Tree Road in Joshua Tree, near the border of Joshua Tree National Park.
