    A caregiver was arrested after he was accused of “brutally” attacking a woman who found him raping her mother, California deputies say.

    Yumi Zingkhai, 23, of Rohnert Park , faces a number of charges, including rape, attempted murder and elder abuse against a dependent adult, the Marin County Sheriff’s Office said in a news release.

    The woman arrived at the home shortly after 5:30 p.m. on Sunday, July 14, to find a paid “in-home medical caretaker,” Zingkhai, raping her mother, deputies said.

    The woman’s mother, whose age is not disclosed but is described as “elderly,” cannot care for herself, as she “suffers from memory related issues,” according to deputies.

    When the daughter “yelled at Zingkhai to stop,” he attacked her, grabbing her by the throat and choking her until she fell unconscious, officials said.

    She woke in the kitchen to find Zingkhai holding a knife, “threatening to kill her if she called the police,” deputies said.

    Zingkhai held the daughter captive for nearly two hours until she convinced him to leave the house and “handle personal matters he mentioned were important to him,” the sheriff’s office said.

    Once he left, the daughter called 911.

    Zingkhai went home and “told his girlfriend he was suicidal,” adding that he needed to return to his employer’s home, authorities said.

    Zingkhai’s girlfriend went with him as he drove back to the home, deputies said.

    While they were in the car, the girlfriend tried to call 911, as she was worried “about his suicidal statements,” deputies said.

    “Zingkhai took her phone” and hit her multiple times, authorities said.

    Zingkhai arrived at the home to find deputies and detectives there and pushed his girlfriend from the moving car, according to the sheriff’s office.

    Officers apprehended Zingkhai as he tried to flee, deputies said.

    His girlfriend was not hurt, according to authorities.

    He is being held without bail, deputies said.

    Marin County is about a 40-mile drive northwest from San Francisco.
