Two stabbed in Covina brawl
COVINA -- Two men were stabbed during a brawl on Badillo Street late Friday, police said.
The stabbing was reported about 11:30 p.m. in the 800 block of East Badillo Street, just west of Grand Avenue, Covina police Sgt. Rob Bobkiewicz said.
A deputy was responding to another call of a loud party when he was flagged down by a witness who reported two of his friends had been stabbed, the sergeant said.
Officials found two men in their 20s suffering from stab wounds nearby, Bobkiewicz said. Both were hospitalized with injuries not believed to be life threatening.
The victims gave conflicting accounts of what took place, police said, but it appeared they were involved in a fight with seven to 10 gang members from an unknown gang.
No further description of the attackers was available.
One of the stabbing victims was wounded in the leg, torso and arm, while the other suffered a wound to his torso, Bobkiewicz said.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Covina Police Department at 626-331-3391.
