Police arrest assault suspect

Police arrested a Costa Mesa man in connection with the stabbing

Monday of a man in Newport Coast.

Newport Beach police were called to a home in the 100 block of

Catania at about 4:30 p.m. on a reported assault with a deadly

weapon, Sgt. Steve Shulman said. When they got to the home, they

found that a 29-year-old Newport Beach man had been stabbed, Shulman

said.

Police have not identified the victim, who was taken to Hoag

Hospital. His injuries were not life-threatening, Shulman said.

People at the home gave police a description of the suspect, who

they said fled the home. Officers broadcast the license number of a

Ford F-150 driven by the suspect, who apparently knew the victim,

Shulman said.

Costa Mesa police found the truck a few hours later in front of a

home in the 2900 block of Croftdon Street, he said.

Alton Christopher Aloe, 30, of Costa Mesa was arrested without

incident on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon, Shulman said.

Aloe is being held in the Orange County Jail. He is ineligible for

the $25,000 bail because of a parole violation.
