Police said two men quarreled Monday evening at a residence in the 2000 block of National Avenue in Costa Mesa and that one became upset when the other asked him to leave. The man attacked, leaving the other with a cut on the left side of his face and two stab wounds in the back, police said.
The stabbing victim, a 30-year-old Costa Mesa resident, was taken to a trauma center for treatment and was later released, police said.
