Man accused of attacking 3 people in Pacific Palisades, including magician at child’s party

A man was arrested after he allegedly attacked three people in Pacific Palisades, including a homeowner and a magician at a 4-year-old’s birthday party.

The attacks were reported Saturday afternoon.

The first one happened around 3:30 p.m. in the 400 block of Mesa Road in which a man was punched. His condition is unknown.

About 15 minutes later, the suspect walked up the block and attacked Mike Deasy, who spoke about the incident with Eyewitness News on Sunday. He said the suspect attacked him seconds after he had walked into his home.

“The door was still open,” he recalled. “When I turned around to close it, this guy came up and started wailing on me.”

The moments before the attack on Deasy were captured on surveillance video, which shows the suspect, seen wearing a white T-shirt and khaki pants, approaching the entrance.

“Is this your house?” he is heard asking. After a few seconds, you see the suspect run toward the victim.

Deasy was rushed to the hospital with serious injuries to his face and hands, saying he tried to defend himself during the assault.
