At least three stabbed outside Halloween party in Whittier
WHITTIER -- At least three people were stabbed Saturday during a fight outside a Halloween party, police said.
The stabbings were reported about 11:15 p.m. in a residential neighborhood in the 7700 block of Comstock Avenue, Whittier police Sgt. Kevin Ramos said.
Three men found their own way to the hospital following the incident, and police were seeking a possible fourth stabbing victim who was unaccounted for, the sergeant said.
The conditions of the wounded men were not available, he said, however none of the injuries were believed to be life-threatening.
The stabbings were discovered after officers responded to a report of about 20 people fighting in the street, Ramos said.
The knife-wielding man was described as Latino, about 20 years old, about 5 feet 9 inches tall and weighing about 150 pounds, officials said. He had black hair and wore a black hooded sweat shirt and checkered shorts.
