Authorities have arrested a man they say attacked his wife with a chain saw in front of their three children at their Los Angeles-area home.

Authorities on Thursday arrested 32-year-old Alejandro Alvarez in Chula Vista, a few miles from the Mexican border. Police say he was in an SUV that was stolen after Alvarez’s own vehicle crashed after Wednesday’s attack.

Alvarez could face charges of attempted murder, child endangerment, hit-and-run and grand theft auto. It’s unclear if he has an attorney.

Alvarez is suspected of attacking his wife, Gloria Mojica, at their Whittier home, leaving her covered in blood.

KABC-TV reports that the woman was listed in stable condition Thursday and is expected to recover.
