According to Los Angeles Police Department, officers were dispatched to the intersection of 1st Street and S. Soto Street just before 5 p.m. after learning of an assault with a deadly weapon in the area. 

Upon arrival, they found a man suffering from what appeared to be stab wounds in his upper torso. 

He was taken to a nearby hospital in unknown condition.
