Stabbed Man Cuts 3 Who Tried to Help
Three men who went to the aid of a man who had stabbed himself while under the influence of a drug were cut Monday when the man slashed at them with a knife, police said.
The victims, aged 23, 35 and 47, were treated by paramedics in the Glassell Park area of Los Angeles and released, Detective Sam Jacobellis said. Their identities were not disclosed.
The three injured men tried to help a man with a stab wound--identified by police as Jose Morales, 23, a Mexican citizen--after he staggered into their apartment house at 2616 N. Idell St.
Morales, who police said was under the influence of a drug, was taken to County-USC Medical Center where he was treated for his wound and held in the jail ward pending charges of assault with a deadly weapon.
