Redmond James O'Neal, who is the son of film stars Ryan O'Neal and the late Farrah Fawcett, has been charged with a number of offences, including attempted murder, following an alleged crime spree in Los Angeles.
Thirty-three-year-old Redmond James O'Neal has been charged with attempted murder, second-degree robbery and criminal threats and three counts of assault following alleged random attacks on strangers, according to the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office.
In an amended criminal complaint, O'Neal also is charged with six misdemeanour counts, including possessing a controlled substance.
It is alleged O'Neal carried out five random attacks between May 2 and 5. He was linked to the crimes after he was arrested on suspicion of robbing a grocery store in Santa Monica on May 8.
The charging document also alleges O'Neal was previously convicted of possession of a controlled substance in jail in 2009 and possession of a firearm by a felon in 2015.
He is next due to appear in a Los Angeles court on July 20.
O'Neal faces a possible maximum sentence of 22 years in state prison if convicted as charged.
Bail is set at more than $1.31 million dollars.
O'Neal is the only child of Fawcett, who was best known for starring in Charlie's Angels. She died of cancer in 2009.
