A Long Beach man is accused of attempting to kill his former co-worker with an ax.
Police say 34-year-old Anthony Calvo attacked the victim when he was walking home from an overnight shift at a Long Beach taxi company in February. They say Calvo ran up behind the victim on Arizona Avenue, and then hit him in the face, arm and head with the weapon.
The victim suffered life-threatening injuries and is still in the hospital.
Calvo was indicted Thursday on attempted murder in the second degree and assault in the first degree.
