A Sunnyside man wanted for attempted murder was arrested in Yakima thanks to a tipster.

Sunnyside police detectives, working with Yakima police, found Manuel Angel Torres after they got a tip about where he was, police said.

Torres, 29, was found hiding under a bed in a house in the 5200 block of Nob Hill Boulevard, the Yakima Herald-Republic reported.

Torres had been sought for attacking his ex-girlfriend with a knife Sunday night in Sunnyside. The former couple have a 2-year-old child together, and police said Torres has a history of escalating domestic violence against the victim.

The 25-year-old was able to drive herself to the hospital after the attack.
