Man stabbed while walking on Culver City street; suspect at large

Police are searching for a suspect after a man was stabbed while walking on a Culver City street.

Late Tuesday night, the male victim was walking near the 2900 block of La Cienega Boulevard when the suspect suddenly pushed him from behind before stabbing him in the arm.

The victim was able to escape from the attacker and run to safety. A bystander called police after witnessing the bleeding man walking away from the scene.

“Police quickly found the victim and observed a significant wound to his forearm, an approximately four-inch-deep laceration,” authorities said.

He was transported to a local hospital for treatment.

The assailant fled the area and remains at large. He is described as a Hispanic man around 30-40 years old and is believed to frequent the area, officers said.

A motive behind the stabbing remains under investigation.
