Two suspects in a stabbing tried to elude San Bernardino County sheriff’s deputies early Thursday morning — eventually ramming the officers’ vehicle before being apprehended, authorities said in a news release.

Deputies from the Victor Valley station responded to a 911 call shortly after midnight and discovered 28-year-old Michael Jerry Gonzalez on a floor with stab wounds at a residence in the 17000 block of Vista Point Drive in Victorville.

Gonzalez was air-lifted to Loma Linda Medical Center for treatment. Information on the extent of his injuries was not available, authorities said.

While conducting a search, deputies attempted to stop a suspicious vehicle. The suspects fled, then rammed a deputy’s cruiser.

Audrey Lee Brown, 19, of Victorville, and Wyatt Lee Jochim, 24, of Phelan, were arrested when the pursuit ended. Jochim was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder, assaulting a police officer, felony evading and assault with a deadly weapon.

Brown was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence, felony evading and assault with a deadly weapon, police said.
