"Arrest Made in Brutal Attacks on Women Near Venice Canals"

Mary Klein, a 54-year-old woman, was brutally attacked near the Venice canals, suffering severe injuries including fractures to her jaw, broken teeth, and a large gash on the back of her head. The suspect, Anthony Jones, 29, was arrested and is being held on two counts of attempted murder. The attacks had a "sexual element" and another woman is currently in a coma. Mary, a single mother and home healthcare nurse, faces a long road to recovery and will require multiple surgeries. She hopes the suspect will be sentenced to life in prison and urges officials to prioritize tackling mental health issues, drug abuse, and homelessness in Southern California.
