Police were searching Wednesday for a Los Angeles man accused of stabbing a woman and attempting to gouge out a man’s eyes who fled a courthouse and cut off a monitoring bracelet.

An arrest warrant was issued for Abel Munguia, 19, whom police called a “dangerous fugitive,” after his electronic monitoring ankle device was recovered in Carson.

Munguia had been free on bail and was appearing Wednesday in a Long Beach courthouse to answer felony charges of assault with a deadly weapon in the stabbing of a 20-year-old woman.

Authorities said he fled after he was informed he was being charged with a second felony assault with aggravated mayhem for attempting to gouge out the eye of a 50-year-old man. That charge can result in a 15 years to life sentence upon conviction.
