(KRON) – Police arrested a juvenile in Hayward on Friday in connection with a stabbing incident that occurred last month, Hayward police said.

During a preliminary investigation, officers determined that the minor may have been in possession of multiple firearms and high-capacity magazines because he brandished a weapon during the stabbing, police said.


Police executed a search warrant at the teen’s home. The teen was not home at the time of the search, but police said they recovered “two stolen rifles, a sawed-off shotgun, and several pistols and high-capacity magazines.”

According to police, the youth was found a short time later at another address and taken into custody without incident.

“Please talk to your children about gun safety and encourage them to tell an adult if they know a friend, classmate or acquaintance has guns,” Hayward police said in a statement.
