San Diego and UCSD police arrived at North Torrey Pines Road Monday night after witnesses reported a stabbing at Black’s Beach involving two alleged gang members.
A fight broke out between two Latino males near the Black’s Beach Dumpsters between 9:30 p.m. and 10 p.m., witnesses said.
After sustaining two knife wounds, the victim made his way up the cliffs to the edge of Eleanor Roosevelt College, where he flagged down a UCSD police officer just after 10 p.m. The second male was unharmed.
A witness at Asia Hall described the victim as a 20-year-old Latino male wearing a white shirt and plaid shorts, adding that the victim was conscious and breathing but refused medical attention.
He was taken to Scripps Memorial Hospital and subsequently released with non-life-threatening injuries.
SDPD officers had direct contact with both parties, but neither would cooperate with police questioning, and the victim did not wish to press charges, officials said.
This incident marks the second stabbing at Black’s in the past year. In July 2008, an unidentified victim was stabbed in the side after a late-night ‘drum circle’ ended in a large brawl.
