A Los Angeles security guard is speaking out about California's homeless crisis after he lost his finger during a stabbing attack by a homeless man in Venice last year. Tariq Ali – who also goes by T – approached a drunk homeless man on June 3, 2021 after noticing the man loiter near a school. Ali immediately recognized the man, who frequented the area and was asked to leave before.
After Ali attempted to mace the homeless man, the assailant angrily broke a bottle over Ali's head and stabbed him repeatedly in the wrist, torso and head. The security guard punched his attacker in the mouth, but the homeless man's saliva infected his finger wound – causing the ring finger of Ali's right hand to be amputated.

While the mace wore off, Ali went into shock and did not realize where the blood was coming from. He soon discovered that his head wound was gushing a life-threatening amount of blood. "Once I got my composure back, I sat down and I was just thinking, ‘This is my last day.
I might have about 10 minutes' or something because I was losing a lot of blood," Ali recalled. "The next day, there was so much blood in the parking lot, I don’t even know how I survived," the security guard added. The homeless man's saliva infected Tariq's finger wound, leading to an amputation.
