LONG BEACH \u2013 A suspect who police said stabbed a girl in a Long Beach park is in custody Tuesday 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 between East Broadway and East First regarding a stabbing. 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 on a gurney 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
The suspect fled the scene prior to officers\u2019 arrival but was quickly located and taken into custody, Vargas said.<\/p>\n
The victim was taken to a local hospital in an unknown condition by Long Beach Fire personnel. The circumstances and motive remain under active investigation, Vargas said.<\/p>\n
