Day Laborer Facing Series of Charges in Machete Attack
A day laborer accused in a machete attack is facing a series of felony charges once he recovers from his own wounds.
Twenty-three-year-old Gerardo Casillas-Rodrigues underwent surgery after he was shot by a Santa Clara County deputy responding to the attack Wednesday in Los Altos.
Authorities say Casillas-Rodrigues initially attacked a co-worker at the landscaping site where they both work in an argument over pay.
The co-worker lost part of his ear in the attack, suffered a slash to his forearm and a finger was nearly severed.
Investigators say Casillas-Rodrigues then wandered into a residential neighborhood and attacked an 80-year-old woman in her doorway.
The woman was saved from serious injury when her son chased the attacker away with a pellet gun. The elderly woman was not seriously injured.
