Long Beach police arrested a male suspect Saturday evening following a reported stabbing and mental health crisis at a motel on the 1700 block of Pine Avenue.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Officers responded to the scene around 6:45 p.m. on Feb. 14, 2026, after receiving a call reporting a mental health incident involving a stabbing. Upon arrival, officers contacted an adult female victim who sustained non-life-threatening injuries. She declined medical treatment from Long Beach Fire Department<\/a> personnel.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

According to the preliminary investigation, the victim and suspect are known to each other. Officers attempted to contact the male suspect, who barricaded himself inside a motel room. Due to the nature of the incident, additional resources, including the Mental Evaluation Team and SWAT, were called to the scene.<\/p>\n

Police made multiple attempts to de-escalate the situation, but the suspect remained uncooperative. After approximately two hours, officers took the suspect into custody.<\/p>\n

During the arrest, a use of force occurred, which included the use of a conducted electrical weapon (commonly referred to as a taser), gas, a less-lethal launcher, and K9 contact. The suspect sustained non-life-threatening injuries and was transported to a local hospital by Long Beach Fire Department<\/a> personnel for treatment.<\/p>\n

The investigation remains ongoing.<\/p>\n
