Police Brief
A Memorial Day barbecue in Costa Mesa turned bloody Monday as a man
was taken to the hospital after allegedly being stabbed with a broken
beer bottle, police said.
Police responded to a disturbance call about 6:15 p.m. at an apartment
complex in the 1800 block of Placentia Avenue. A man, whom police had not
identified by press time, suffered non-life-threatening injuries and was
taken to Western Medical Center.
An officer went to the hospital to question the victim, police said.
The alleged stabbing took place in the common open area in the back of
the apartment complex’s property. Investigators taped off the lawn area,
and scoured the brush and surrounding area for clues.
Dozens of residents gathered around the police cars, looking curiously
at the scene, grilling each other for details.
Details of the alleged stabbing are still under investigation, police
