Murrieta Teen Allegedly Stabs Younger Brother Repeatedly
MURRIETA (CBSLA.com) — Police said a 16-year-old boy is in custody after following a stabbing attack against his 15-year-old brother in Murrieta.
The older brother has been arrested for attempted murder, according to police.
The victim had several stab wounds and was taken to a hospital with serious injuries, Murrieta Police Sgt. Matt Henry said.
The stabbing suspect was booked at a juvenile hall for suspicion of attempted murder, Henry said.
No names were released for the victim -- whose injuries are not considered life-threatening -- or the alleged attacker, because they are both underage.
Officers did not offer a motive for the attack.
The stabbing was reported Saturday afternoon around 3:00 p.m., police said.
The brothers live in the Rancho Las Brisas Apartments in the 40000 block of Los Alamos Road.
