LONG BEACH, CA \u2014 A person who police say stabbed a girl in a park is now in custody following their arrest.<\/p>\n
Long Beach Police Department officers were called at 9:25 p.m. Monday to the 100 block of Pacific Avenue in downtown Long Beach, between East Broadway and East First Street regarding a stabbing.<\/p>\n
When they arrived, the officers learned the suspect, whose gender police did not release, stabbed a juvenile female during an altercation, Lt. Benjamin Vargas told City News Service.<\/p>\n
Video from the location showed a male in handcuffs at the scene and the victim being loaded into an ambulance.<\/p>\n
The preliminary investigation indicates the victim confronted the suspect during the argument, which led to the stabbing, police said.<\/p>\n
