In two unrelated incidents of domestic violence Saturday, a man and a woman were arrested on suspicion of attempted murder. Here's the info:

Man wounded in stabbing
PASADENA -- A local man was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder Saturday after allegedly stabbing his boyfriend during a break-up, authorities said.
Kyle Vawter, 40, of Pasadena was booked in connection with the alleged crime, Pasadena police Lt. Tracey Ibarra said.
The incident occurred about 6 p.m. at a house where the men lived in the 1500 block of Pegfair Estates Drive, the lieutenant said.
The victim, 55, told Vawter he wanted to end their relationship before Vawter allegedly stabbed him in the back with a steak knife, Ibarra said.
The alleged victim was hospitalized with serious injuries but was expected to survive, she said.
According to court records, Vawter is being held in lieu of $1 million bail. His arraignment date was not available.


Woman suspected in attack
PASADENA -- A woman was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder Sunday after allegedly spraying another woman with mace, punching her and striking her with a car, police said.
The suspect was believed to have been involved in some sort of love triangle with the victim, as both women shared the same father for their children.
Elvia Ponce, 24, of Pasadena turned herself in following Saturday's alleged assault, Pasadena police Lt. Tracey Ibarra said.
She was being held in lieu of $1 million bail, according to court records.
The incident was reported about 10:20 a.m. in the 1400 block of North Raymond Avenue, Ibarra said.
Ponce allegedly spotted the 19-year-old victim while driving and got out of her car to spray the woman with mace and punch her, the lieutenant said.
Ponce then reportedly returned to her car and made a u-turn before striking the victim, she said, who was standing in the street.
The apparent victim complained of pain but was not hospitalized, Ibarra said.
Because of the potentially deadly injuries the victim could have sustained in the incident, Ponce was booked on suspicion of attempted murder.
Information on Ponce's initial court appearance was not available Sunday.
