Family members inside the house were able to run out of the house but Zamora went around the back and caught up to them, slashing at the boy and nearly hitting him in the head, according to the affidavit.
The SAPD officer said in the affidavit Zamora broke several windows of the home and took off before police arrived.
Zamora is now being charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, a second-degree felony. His bail was set at $30,000.
