FONTANA >> A Fontana man is scheduled to be in court today to answer to charges that he tried to kill a man he met on Craiglist after the two reportedly had sex.

Anthony Saldivar, 21, has been charged with attempted murder after he punched and stabbed a man Friday night, according to San Bernardino County court records and Fontana police officials.

Late Friday night, Saldivar and the victim met through Craigslist, an online classified ad Website which includes personals, and made arrangements to meet in person.

“The information we have is that they met on Craigslist with intent to have relations,” said Martha Guzman-Hurtado, spokeswoman for the Fontana Police Department.

The victim picked Saldivar up on the corner of Granada Avenue and Dumond Drive in Fontana and drove back to the victim’s home in Claremont where they had sexual relations.

When the victim drove Saldivar back to the area of Granada and Dumond, he gave Saldivar a kiss good night, according to a police statement. The kiss allegedly infuriated Saldivar, according to investigators, and the 21-year-old began punching the victim in the head. During the attack, Saldivar allegedly stabbed the man in the neck.

The injured victim managed to get Saldivar out of his vehicle and the wounded man drove himself to a nearby emergency room. There, hospital staff called police.

Officers reportedly found the knife used in the attack still inside the victim’s car in the hospital parking lot.

The injured man is expected to survive.

The following day, officers arrested Saldivar at his home — only a few feet from where the victim had picked him up a few hours prior to the attack.

Authorities advise people to always be careful when meeting people online, especially the first time.

“Do your research,” said Guzman-Hurtado. “You can find out background information with a quick Internet search or search on social networking sites.”

Always plan to meet in a public place and never get inside the other person’s car, she said.
