Ruben Arzu, 22, was waiting on the unidentified couple's front porch when they returned to their home in Colton, Calif., at around 11:30 p.m. on Saturday, The San Bernardino Sun reported.
When the 34-year-old woman fled inside to call police, the nude brute attacked her husband, 35, "causing major head trauma and injuries," police told the newspaper.
When the man's wife tried to stop the beating, Arzu went after her, tossing her around like a rag doll and splitting open her head, police said.
Arzu took off after the attack, but neighbors cornered him in the backyard of another home, the Sun said.
Cops said it took four officers and multiple jolts from a Taser gun to finally take the muscle-bound thug down.
Arzu was injured in the scuffle and still recovering at a hospital on Tuesday, police said.
He was expected to be booked for attempted homicide and aggravated mayhem.
The couple was released from Arrowhead Regional Medical Center on Tuesday.
Arzu, 22, is awaiting booking on suspicion of attempted homicide and aggravated mayhem, Colton police Officer Todd Smith said. His condition was not immediately available.
“The couple showed up at home from a party and he’s there in their front yard, naked,” said Smith, adding that the victims did not know Arzu.
Police said Arzu attacked the husband and caused major head trauma after the 36-year-old man confronted him.
The 34-year-old woman ran inside the house and called 911. When she came back out to check on her husband, Arzu picked her up and threw her around, causing facial injuries and multiple cuts to her head, Smith said.
Before officers arrived, a neighbor came out of her house to try and help the woman but ran back inside when Arzu turned to confront her, Smith said.
The names of the two victims were not released.
KABC and The Sun of San Bernardino cited authorities while reporting Arzu had been taking steroids and was under the influence of other drugs. Smith could not confirm those reports.
