Homeless “greeter” stabbed outside Disneyland

By Tom Bell | Published August 25, 2015

A homeless man who, along with his pet parrot, greets guests on Harbor Boulevard across from Disneyland was stabbed Sunday night after getting into an argument with another homeless man.

The 52-year-old victim, know as “The Birdman”, was in critical condition after being stabbed several times, but is expected to survive.

Tony Diep, 54, was arrested and will likely be booked on suspicion of attempted murder after witnesses called police and followed him from the scene.

The parrot was with the victim during the incident and is being held by Orange County Animal Care officials.
