A woman is in a coma after she was violently attacked during a break-in Wednesday at the California mansion of Beanie Babies billionaire Ty Warner, the Santa Barbara County District Attorney’s Office said.

Russell Maxwell Phay, a 42-year-old from Nevada, was arrested last week after allegedly breaking into a home in Montecito, the Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement.

The sheriff's office alleges that during the May 21 incident, Phay "violently" beat a woman and then barricaded himself in an upstairs bathroom.

A criminal complaint identified the victim as "L. Malek-Aslanian" and states that she is "comatose due to brain injury" as a result of the attack. The homeowner was identified in the complaint as "T. Warner."

Amber Frost, a communications specialist for the Santa Barbara County District Attorney’s Office, confirmed to NBC News that "T. Warner" is Ty Warner.
