When he smelled the gasoline that was when he reacted.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Haight allegedly sprayed the cook with lighter fluid then picked up a knife from the prep kitchen and followed the cook as he retreated into the kitchen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The restaurant\u2019s surveillance cameras showed the cook walking into the kitchen with a chef\u2019s knife in one hand and a head of lettuce in the other. Haight can be seen following with a knife in one hand and his dog\u2019s leash and a small bottle in the other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both men ultimately exited out the back door of the restaurant and a good Samaritan jumped out of his truck and attempted to intervene. That man was also doused with lighter fluid before a witness said he \u201cknocked out\u201d Haight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI just pulled up, and the guy just got knocked out,\u201d one witness told FOX 11. \u201cHis&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/category\/health\/nervous-system-health\/head-injury\">head is bleeding<\/a>&nbsp;and there was another guy in the parking lot, and he was saying, \u2018You need to get out of here, or I\u2019m going to knock you out again.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Police arrived at the scene shortly after the punch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Haight was taken into custody and&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/category\/us\/crime\">charged with attempted murder,<\/a>&nbsp;assault with a deadly weapon and assault with a caustic chemical, according to Thousand Oaks Police.
