2 Men Stabbed Along Venice Beach's Oceanfront Walk
VENICE (CBSLA.com) — Authorities say two men were recovering Sunday after being stabbed along Venice Beach's oceanfront walk.
Los Angeles police Sgt. Laura Curtin told City News Service that the men were stabbed about 9:40 p.m. Saturday at Pacific and Windward avenues.
The sergeant said both of the victims were in their 20s. They were taken to area hospitals for treatment.
Based on information provided by witnesses, Los Angeles police Sgt. John Marquez says it's believed that there were at least two suspects.
Marquez said the victims were uncooperative and very reluctant to give police any information.
He also said the incident, which remains under investigation, may be gang-related.
