A woman who was stabbed during a brawl in West Hollywood early Sunday morning is in critical condition, authorities said.
The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department said it received a call about a fight involving “multiple people” in the area of Santa Monica Boulevard between San Vicente and Robertson boulevards — where several popular bars are located — around 3 a.m.
When deputies responded to the call, they found a woman in her early 20s who had sustained a serious stab wound to her upper body, according to Deputy Jacob Sivley.
She was treated by L.A. County Fire Department paramedics and then taken to a hospital, where she remains in critical condition, Sivley said.
Sivley said the department did not have information on a suspect to release and did not have an update on the woman’s condition as of Monday afternoon.
“Due to the severity of the assault,” homicide investigators were notified of the incident around 8 a.m. and are handling the inquiry, Sivley said.
Anyone with information is asked to reach out to the Sheriff’s Department’s Homicide Bureau at (323) 890-5500.
