Welcome to the LBPD Blotter!

As part of our ongoing commitment to external communications and providing valuable information to our community, the Department posts preliminary information about incidents that occurred the previous evening, including shootings and stabbings, as well as any other LBPD updates to the Department’s homepage and on the “News” tab of the Department’s website. This page will be updated as new incidents occur.

Here’s a recap of incidents occurring last night:

• Officers Investigate a Stabbing - Today at approximately 12:37 a.m., officers were dispatched to the 3600 block of Elm Avenue regarding an assault with a deadly weapon. Upon arrival, officers contacted a male adult victim with non-life-threatening stab wounds to the upper body. Long Beach Fire Department personnel arrived on scene and transported the victim to a local hospital for their injuries. The preliminary investigation suggests the victim was walking in the 3600 block of Elm Avenue when he encountered a male adult suspect. After a brief verbal interaction, the suspect stabbed the victim. The victim managed to fend off the suspect, resulting in the suspect fleeing the scene in an unknown direction prior to officers’ arrival. No suspect information is known, and the investigation is ongoing.
