Upon arrival, officers located a male adult victim with non-life-threatening stab wounds to the upper body. Long Beach Fire Department personnel transported the victim to a local hospital. The preliminary investigation indicates the victim was walking outside when a male adult suspect approached him and stabbed him. Officers located the suspect nearby and safely took him into custody. The suspect was identified as Ivan Maciel Alvardo, a 28-year-old resident of Long Beach, who was booked for assault with a deadly weapon and violating a restraining order. Bail was set at $30,000. The investigation is ongoing.
