SAN JACINTO (CNS) - A 51-year-old man suspected of assaulting his mother and inflicting life-threatening injuries during an attack at her San Jacinto home was at large today, with investigators asking the public for help locating him.

Pasqual Carlos allegedly perpetrated the assault shortly after 9 a.m. Wednesday in the 300 block of North Kirby Street, near Caseros Drive, according to the Riverside County Sheriff's Department.

Sgt. Anthony Pelato said the victim, whose identity was not disclosed, called 911 after being beaten, identifying the assailant as her son.

Deputies and paramedics arrived minutes later and rendered aid, after which the victim was taken to a regional trauma center, where she underwent "emergency surgery," according to Pelato.

He said that as of Thursday night, she remained in critical condition.

A possible motive for the alleged attack was not provided.

"An extensive search for Carlos was conducted, but he was not found," Pelato said.

An arrest warrant was obtained by the following day, and detectives were continuing their search.

The suspect is described as 5 feet, 6 inches tall, 200 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. His hair is short, and he was sporting a mustache in recent photographs.

"Carlos is considered armed and dangerous, and the public is cautioned not to attempt to contact him," the sergeant said.

Anyone with information on his whereabouts was asked to call the sheriff's San Jacinto station at 951-791-3400.
