California man charged with trying to kill estranged wife at son’s football game

A California father has been charged with attempted murder for allegedly trying to attack his estranged wife with two butcher knives at their son’s flag football game.

The estranged couple’s 9-year-old son warned his mother that Husges was "charging across the field" at her with the large knives, the report said, citing the Garden Grove Police Department. The 40-year-old mother fled onto the field and yelled for help. An off-duty cop, her son and other witnesses stopped Husges from attacking her, the report said.
