In Sacramento, California, police now must protect and serve while perpetually planning for an ambush.

Juan Gomez, 21, and Jamaral Lee, 35, both face charges linked to an attack on an unidentified cop Monday morning.

Gomez faces felony charges for allegedly luring a cop out of his patrol vehicle in a Kaiser South Medical Center parking lot before beating him, and Lee faces a felony charge of advocacy of killing a peace officer for allegedly videotaping and encouraging the crime.

"The man had told the officer that there was someone in the area with a gun. He immediately and violently attacked the officer,” Sacramento Police spokesman Doug Morse told CBS-13 on Wednesday. "The attack continued when that individual actually jumped on that officer and continued to strike him in the face."

Security guards and bystanders stopped the attack and then rushed the officer into the hospital.

The California attack comes just days after a Los Angeles police launched an open investigation into a man who stalked an officer with a handgun and then posted video of his behavior online, CBS-LA reported Monday.

"[An ambush is a] very, very difficult thing to protect against. We’re likely to see an era, at least for a while, in which law enforcement will have to approach overall general contact with the public differently," former Sacramento County Sheriff John McGinness told the network.

Pastor Les Simmons, a local supporter of the Black Lives Matter movement, told CBS the alleged actions of Gomez and Lee do not represent the community.

Gomez and Lee are both being held at the Sacramento County Jail.

Monday's ambush is reminiscent of an Aug. 28 ambush in Houston, Texas, which left an officer dead at a gas station.

Harris County Sheriff's Deputy Darren Goforth, 47, died in Cypress, Texas, after being shot 15 times.

Houston resident Shannon J. Miles, 30, was arrested and charged with capital murder after police determined .40-caliber shell casings from the crime scene matched a handgun in his home, WND reported.

Miles is being held without bond. He will undergo a psychological examination as part of his background investigation, CNN reported Sept. 1.
