The woman was taken into custody around 2:45 a.m., said Riverside police Lt. E. Milby. He did not disclose where the woman was found.
Police had been searching for a woman, believed to be in her mid 20s, who was suspected of attacking an 80-year-old woman in her trailer at the Meadows mobile home park in the 4000 block of Pierce Street in the La Sierra neighborhood and also stabbing a dog in another trailer in the same facility early Monday, police said.
The woman, who is in serious but stable condition, was found around 8:10 a.m., Monday Feb. 25 while the attack on the dog was reported around 6 a.m. by a couple who said they found the suspect, clad in a hard hat, sitting in their living room with one of their kitchen knives at her feet.
The couple told reporters the woman was talking incoherently, saying she was hiding from her husband who was trying to killer her, and they didn’t discover their dog had been attacked until after the woman left.
The animal was at home Monday night and was expected to survive, its owners told reporters.
The attacks happened in the course of home-invasion robberies, according to police, who suspect the 80-year-old woman’s car was stolen by the suspect.
Police did not immediately say if the white Toyota Camry, license plate number DPL2518, has been recovered.
Another resident of the mobile home park reported that her shed had been broken into and a car next door was reported tampered with, Milby said, adding that police believe all four incidents are related.
Anyone with information about the attacks was urged to call Riverside police Det. Jim Simons at 951-353-7138.

The young lady arrested 2/26/13 in Riverside had severe Bi-polar episode She was not on drugs. Everyone is so quick to judge. She needs help not jail. Society needs to learn more on bi-polar. With Silver Lineing Playbook at the show, I pray we can help her and others who are screaming out for help. I understand the elderly lady will be ok praise Jesus
The “elderly lady” will never ever ever be the OK again.. So you obviously understand nothing!!
You understand that the Elderly lady that was beaten and stab will be ok? What exactly do you mean by ok? Alive? Have you been by the ICU at the hospital to see her? Did you see the staples that line her head? Her broken neck? Her beaten hands from trying to protect herself? I didn’t see anyone in Silver Lining Playbook charged with attempted murder. Maybe you should be praying for the elderly lady that was screaming out for help after she was stabbed and beaten by the bi-polar girl who was arrested, who spent time in jail last year for a similar crime. She needs to be locked up while the rest of us educate ourselves on severe Bi-Polar episodes. Praise Jesus Grandma that you too will be OK.
Doesn’t matter if the catalyst is mental illness, drugs, outright evil…. If you have the capacity for this level of savagery against your fellow man (especially the helpless and vulnerable) you need to be segregated from society. This woman should not be allowed out again.
