Roseville police arrest employee who allegedly attacked boss with a knife

A contract employee who police say attacked his supervisor with a knife in Roseville has been arrested.

Roseville police arrested the man, Salai Tuntun, 41, hours after the attack took place at a business on the 4000 block of Woodcreek Oaks Boulevard just before noon on Wednesday.

Officers from the agency, with help from the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office, made contact with the contract employee at his home in Sacramento County.

Police allege Tuntun attacked his supervisor with a fixed-blade knife, but they did not disclose what led to the encounter. Police said the victim sustained cuts to a hand.

Police said Tantun was being held without bail in the South Placer County Jail on “several charges including assault with a deadly weapon.”
