The incident, occurring outside a motel, involved multiple stab wounds, and police intervention was crucial in controlling the victim’s bleeding.

ANAHEIM – Darvante Brown Mobley, a 35-year-old man, has been charged with attempted murder following a stabbing incident that left a 61-year-old acquaintance in critical condition. The charges include attempted premeditated murder, inflicting great bodily injury, and personal use of a deadly weapon, which may lead to sentencing enhancements if convicted.
The violent incident took place around 2 p.m. on August 29 outside a motel located in the 1400 block of West Ball Road. The victim suffered multiple stab wounds and experienced significant blood loss. Officers responding to the scene quickly applied tourniquets to control the victim’s bleeding until paramedics arrived. He was then transported to a nearby hospital, where he is currently in critical condition. The quick actions of the police have been credited with potentially saving the victim’s life.
Mobley did not enter a plea during his arraignment held on Thursday in Santa Ana. His next court hearing is scheduled for October 9 at the North Justice Center in Fullerton.
In a related note, a separate stabbing incident occurred just a few days prior on August 20. This incident took place outside the Hotel Indigo in Anaheim, near the Disneyland Resort. The stabbing was reported around 9:21 p.m., and the victim was quickly transported to a hospital. Details about the victim’s condition remain unclear, though reports suggest he may have been homeless and is possibly in stable condition. Investigators cordoned off a section of W Katella Avenue while processing the scene, and a suspect was apprehended at that location. However, the motive for the attack is still under investigation.
Concerns regarding safety have grown in the area, particularly given the close proximity of these incidents to popular attractions like Disneyland. While discussions on social media hinted that the assailant might have been involved in other stabbings at the nearby DoubleTree hotel, this information has not been independently verified. As of now, the Disneyland Resort has not issued any public statement addressing the stabbings occurring outside its property.
Authorities continue to investigate both incidents as the Anaheim community grapples with the implications of such violent acts taking place in public areas. The police have reassured the public about their efforts to maintain safety and order in the city.
