The attacks occurred at St. Joseph’s Hill Open Space Preserve, when a man assaulted two different sets of hikers and threatened them with a knife.
Two separate assaults on hiking trails in Los Gatos that potentially involved the same man were reported last month., when a man assaulted two different sets of hikers and threatened them with a knife.
“This is very disturbing,” Los Gatos resident Silvia Alice Botelho said in a Facebook message. “I was going to hike there on Sunday afternoon, and I usually hike alone. Thank God I’ve decided against it.”“This, unfortunately, can happen in so many places. Definitely be alert, carry mace, stick, do not wear headphones, and a dog helps,” Martinez-Retzer said.
The department also said trail users should keep earbud volume low to remain aware of their surroundings, and to avoid getting on the trails at night. The second assault was reported at 5:10 p.m. Sunday by a woman who was on the Manzanita walking trail. She told police that a man approached her from behind and assaulted her, and was holding a knife as he tried to restrain her.Brett Houston said he was on the trail at the time of the Sunday attack.
