LAGUNA BEACH — A Mission Viejo man was arrested Wednesday by Laguna Beach Police on suspicion of stabbing a homeless man at the Orange County Transit Authority bus depot.
Jimmy Alexander Castrorivera, 22, was taken into custody nearly a quarter-mile from the depot after police stopped a bus he fled on traveling north on Laguna Canyon Road near Canyon Acres, Det. Sgt. Darin Lenyi said.
Witnesses at the depot, 375 Broadway Street, reported seeing Castrorivera stab John Wilson, 47, during an argument around 7:13 p.m.
"(Castrorivera) later admitted to stabbing Wilson, claiming self-defense," Lenyi said.
The suspect fled with the weapon, disposing it while traveling from the depot. Police investigators have not recovered the knife, Lenyi said.
Wilson was transported to Mission Hospital with a stab wound to the abdomen, police said. He is stable, according to hospital officials.
Castrorivera, a self-proclaimed member of the MS-13 gang, was booked into Orange County jail on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon, Lenyi said. He is being held in lieu of $75,000 bail.
Laguna Beach police originally identified Castrorivera under one of his known aliases, Roberto Perez Carvajal.
