Police have arrested six teenagers for their suspected involvement in separate stabbings last week, Chief Mindy Casto said Monday.<\/p>\n

Casto said two suspects in the River Park stabbing were taken into custody Thursday, the night of the incident. Lt. Larry Bowlan, spokesperson for the police department, confirmed a 17-year-old girl and 14-year-old boy were arrested for assault with a deadly weapon.<\/p>\n

Over the weekend, four suspects \u2014 two 18-year-olds and two 17-year-olds \u2014 were arrested in connection to the Fulton Street stabbings.<\/p>\n

Police responded to reports of a fight breaking out on Fulton Street in downtown Fresno around 9 p.m. on Thursday. Two victims were stabbed, and police detained seven people. About an hour later, three juveniles were stabbed in a separate incident in River Park.<\/p>\n

\u201cDetectives and officers worked through the weekend to make sure they arrested these individuals, and they\u2019ll face prosecution for their crimes,\u201d Casto said. \u201cIt should serve as a lesson to anybody who wants to come into Fresno, especially our most prominent public spaces, and commit crimes that you will be held accountable.\u201d<\/p>\n
