A knife-wielding man was arrested Saturday for criminal trespassing after allegedly terrorizing residents in a Sacramento neighborhood.

Haunting video captured the moment Brian Mattson appeared on the porch of Rebecca Breen’s home Thursday evening brandishing a knife and appearing to making repeated stabbing motions.

“We heard a loud knock and we looked in the ring camera and we noticed that there was something very strange going on,” Breen told KCRA. “It was terrifying. It was absolutely terrifying.

Sacramento County Sheriff’s Lt. Amar Gandhi told the outlet deputies received similar calls from several other residents.

“It’s pretty scary stuff. He’s going out there literally thrashing on doors with knives,” he said. “But fortunately, again, nobody hurt. People were very smart in the sense of lock the doors, stayed inside and called us.”

The 56-year-old fled when authorities arrived, but was later found and arrested on Saturday morning, the outlet reported.

Mattson, who was on felony probation, was only charged with criminal trespassing and released a few hours after being booked, according to the outlet citing authorities.

He was arrested later that same day when police responded to another incident involving Mattson trespassing.

As of Saturday evening, Mattson remained in custody according to KCRA.
Breen told the outlet she doesn’t believe her family was targeted, but said it was “very scary” nonetheless.

“I do believe that we were a random target. I don’t think that we were specifically targeted, but I think it’s very scary because if it wasn’t us, it’s going to be someone else. I mean, clearly he was not in his right frame of mind at all,” she said.
