A Huntington Beach man was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder

after stabbing another man in the face when an argument escalated

into a physical fight Sunday night outside a Garden Grove convenience

store, police said.

Daniel Reyes, 22, allegedly stabbed a 37-year-old Compton man with

a knife after a fight broke out at the Circle K market in the 12500

block of Knott Avenue at 7:45 p.m. Sunday, said Lt. Mike Handfield,

The victim’s injury resulted in partial facial paralysis,

Handfield said.

When police officers arrived on scene, Reyes was being held and

locked inside the store by the victim’s friends, Handfield said.

The suspect’s girlfriend, Nancy Nguygen, 19, of Garden Grove, was

arrested for brandishing a weapon, police said. She was cited and

released.
