Mexican authorities say they have two Marines under arrest in Tijuana. The men are accused of the attempted murder of two prostitutes and a hotel manager.

Blood stained walls and floors were visible at a Tijuana hotel early Thursday morning. A prostitute tried to survive a stab wound near her neck. The hotel manager was stabbed, and another prostitute was choked unconscious.

Mexican authorities say Joshua Phillip Dockery and Jarret Christopher Monzingo are to blame. Police displayed the sharp knives the men supposedly used in the attacks.

Friday afternoon, the two accused men were paraded in front of reporters. Dockery and Monzingo were asked their names and rank. They wouldn't answer any questions.

Monzingo told reporters, "Not without my lawyer here."

San Diego 6 News talked to the prostitute who claims Monzingo choked her unconscious. She tells us the other hooker is her sister and was stabbed by Dockery. She said, "The Marines seemed normal. They didn't look violent or drugged up."

She believes the attacks were premeditated.

The Marine Corp has not commented on the incident.

All victims in the attack are expected to recover from their injuries.
