Stabbing reported in Whittier
WHITTIER -- A group of attackers stabbed a man several times Wednesday at a gas station, officials said.
The incident occurred about 1:40 a.m. in the 12900 block of Lambert Road, Whittier police Lt. Wyatt Powell said.
The wounded man, a 23-year-old Los Angeles resident, was taken to an area hospital where he was expected to survive, the lieutenant said.
A black, two-door, older-model Chevy Blazer approached and about six male attackers got out of the SUV and confronted the man, he said.
One or more of the attackers stabbed the man several times before fleeing, Powell said.
A motive in the stabbing and a further description of the attackers were not available.
