A 54-year-old San Bernardino man is in custody on suspicion of assaulting a man in Beverly Hills.
The attack occurred just after 12:40 p.m. Friday near Wilshire and San Vicente boulevards, where Beverly Hills Police officers responded to multiple reports of an assault with a deadly weapon, police said.
The suspect, identified as Christopher Cornelius, was arguing with the victim and allegedly attacked him multiple times with a metal object, according to police.
Cornelius then got into his car and allegedly drove toward the victim, running him over before fleeing to a nearby building.
He was arrested without incident shortly after the assault, police said.
Authorities said Cornelius has an extensive criminal record, including violent crimes.
The victim was taken to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, where he died as a result of his injuries. His name has not been released.
Cornelius was booked into the Beverly Hills Police Department Jail on suspicion of murder. He was being held on a $2 million bail.
The relationship between Cornelius and the victim, if any, remains unknown.
Anyone with information regarding the argument or attack was urged to call the Beverly Hills Police Department at 310-550-9451.
