Man accused of stabbing 3 in Glendale road rage dispute charged with attempted murder

GLENDALE, Calif. (CNS) -- An 18-year-old man suspected in the stabbings of three people following a road rage dispute in Glendale was charged Thursday with attempted murder.

Vahe Gyurjinyan was charged with a single count of attempted murder and two counts of assault with a deadly weapon, according to court records.

He pleaded not guilty to the charges during his arraignment in Burbank, and is due back in court Dec. 16, when a date will be set for a hearing to determine if there is enough evidence for him to stand trial.

Gyurjinyan is suspected in the stabbings that occurred around 7:45 p.m. Sunday near the intersection of San Rafael Avenue and Dryden Street, according to the Glendale Police Department.

Officers who responded to the scene "determined that a fight had broken out between several men following a road rage incident. The three victims had received serious, but non-fatal, wounds resulting from the attack and were transported to a nearby hospital where they were treated.''

Gyurjinyan, of Glendale, was arrested Tuesday. He was being held in lieu of $2 million bail.

A juvenile suspect, identified only as a boy, was arrested Thursday in connection with the attack, although no further details were released.
