Here’s a recap of incidents occurring last night:

Upon arrival, officers located a male adult victim suffering from stab wounds to the upper body.  The victim stated he was an occuapant in a vehicle when a female adult suspect that was also in the vehicle took his proprety and battered him. The victim exited the vehicle and was approached by a male adult suspect who stabbed him. The victim then ran from the are and suspect fled the scene prior to officers arrival.  The Long Beach Fire Department responded to the scene and transported the victim to a local hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
