San Diego police release video of Pacific Beach stabbing, ask for help finding suspects – NBC 7 San Diego

The San Diego Police Department on Wednesday released surveillance footage of a group attacking two people in Pacific Beach in hopes of identifying the suspects.

“We are releasing these video clips to help identify the suspects wanted for their role in this attempted murder. There are four male and three female suspects. One male suspect, wearing a yellow shirt, sustained a cut to his left hand that likely required medical attention,” the department wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter.

On Monday, the SDPD was investigating the stabbing of two people late Sunday night following an argument involving teenagers in the Pacific Beach neighborhood.

Just before 11 p.m., a 51-year-old man and a 23-year-old woman were walking along Ocean Boulevard when five or six teenagers “approached them and started an argument,” an SDPD news release said.

The woman was stabbed in her left knee, police said. After the male victim was stabbed in the back, the suspects ran north on Ocean Boulevard and then east on Garnet Avenue, SDPD added. The stabbing victims were treated at a hospital.

The male victim suffered potentially life-threatening injuries from five wounds to his back, as well as a lacerated diaphragm and spleen. He also had a dislocated big toe, abrasions to his chin and bruising, the SDPD added.

The SDPD’s Northern Division is investigating the attack.
