A 29-year-old man was seriously injured when he was stabbed twice in the upper body while walking on a sidewalk in the Gaslamp neighborhood, police said Saturday.
The stabbing was reported at 1:50 p.m. Saturday in the 700 block of Fifth Avenue, according to Officer David O’Brien of the San Diego Police Department.
“The victim and his companion bumped into two males who were also walking on the sidewalk,” O’Brien said. “A physical altercation occurred between the parties.”
