A quiet Sacramento neighborhood was rattled this week after a man allegedly went door to door with a knife, frightening residents and prompting multiple calls to law enforcement.
The unsettling encounters were caught on camera, showing a man identified as Brian Mattson appearing outside homes and behaving erratically, per the New York Post.
One of those moments unfolded Thursday evening, when he showed up on Rebecca Breen’s porch.
“We heard a loud knock, and we looked in the Ring camera, and we noticed that there was something very strange going on,” Breen told KCRA. “It was terrifying. It was absolutely terrifying.”
Video from the home’s camera system shows Mattson holding a knife and making repeated stabbing motions while standing at the front door.
The footage quickly spread, amplifying concerns among neighbors who feared they could be next.
Authorities say Breen’s home was not the only one targeted.
Sacramento County Sheriff’s Lt. Amar Gandhi confirmed deputies received several similar reports from nearby residents describing a man aggressively knocking on doors while armed.
