A man armed with a knife was taken into custody after at least two people, including his father, were injured in a stabbing Wednesday morning in Woodland Hills.

The stabbing was reported in the 24000 block of Hatteras Street in the west San Fernando Valley community. Crime scene tape blocked off the front of a house in the neighborhood.

Two people were in serious to critical condition, and a third suffered moderate injuries, according to the Los Angeles Fire Department. Police said two people had been stabbed.

When officers arrived at the scene, the attacker armed with a knife was holding his father hostage, police said.

The 35-year-old man was eventually taken into custody. Police said the attack stemmed from a family dispute over a court date the man was scheduled to attend Wednesday.
