A man was arrested for allegedly stabbing a mother who was walking with her 2-year-old daughter outside the Westfield Topanga mall in Canoga Park.

The suspect was identified as Shayne Suffern, 29, according to the Los Angeles Police Department.

On Aug. 21, the victim was walking with her toddler in a stroller in the parking lot around 12:30 p.m. That’s when the suspect suddenly approached the woman and told her to, “Give me back my baby.”

The man opened his backpack and pulled out an AR-15 rifle and attempted to fire at the woman, but the rifle malfunctioned.

The woman began running away with her child, but Suffern chased after her, police said. While removing her baby from the stroller, she was stabbed on the back of her right shoulder.

She ran into a nearby Cheesecake Factory restau
