A man was stabbed Aug. 9 during a robbery attempt in Long Beach.
The victim said he was walking about 2pm in the area of Anaheim Street and Stanley Avenue when a man approached and demanded cash, according to Shaunna Dandoy, public information officer with the Long Beach Police Department.
“When the victim refused, a physical altercation occurred which resulted in the stabbing,” Dandoy said.
The victim suffered non-life-threatening stab wounds to his upper body that landed him in a hospital, she said.
Officers were unable to immediately locate the suspect, who came away from the robbery attempt empty-handed, Dandoy said.
