speculation that it happened at the busy grocery store<\/a>.<\/p>\nWhen asked shortly after the crime, police declined to say exactly where the stabbing occurred, but court records reviewed by the Long Beach Post today show what happened.<\/p>\n
They say police hurried to the scene at about 7:25 p.m. Sunday, when a 911 caller reported that a person had a gun and had just stabbed someone at an apartment complex on East Broadway, just east of Atlantic Avenue.<\/p>\n
Officers found a 45-year-old man on the sidewalk outside the building suffering from stab wounds to his upper and lower body, police said. He was taken to a hospital for treatment of the non-life-threatening wounds.<\/p>\n
At the scene, the victim told officers that a man had shown him a gun in his waistband, then stabbed him multiple times, according to court records. A witness confirmed this account and told police that the suspected assailant had retreated inside an apartment.<\/p>\n
After a brief standoff, the suspect surrendered to police and was arrested at the scene on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon and making criminal threats. Police later identified him as 31-year-old Darien Barrett.<\/p>\n
Barrett was originally held on $50,000 bail, but was released on Monday afternoon because police had insufficient evidence to hold him longer, jail records show.<\/p>\n
