Man stabbed at Whittier house party
WHITTIER -- A 20-year-old man was expected to survive Tuesday after he was stabbed more than a dozen times when a fight broke out at a weekend house party, officials said.
The stabbing took place about 12:45 a.m. Sunday at a house in the 10100 block of Kentucky Avenue, Whittier police said in a written statement.
"A fight between several male subjects erupted at the party, resulting in the victim being stabbed," the statement said.
It was not clear Tuesday what the fight was about.
The victim, a Paramount man, was stabbed at least a dozen times in the torso, Lt. Randy Inman said. He was hospitalized in an intensive care unit and listed in stable condition.
Two young men who were at the home when police arrived were initially arrested in connection with the stabbing, but then released due to a lack of evidence, Officer Bradley White said.
