A person was stabbed in Riverside’s downtown area Wednesday night, April 5.
Riverside police officers responded to the 4000 block of University Avenue about 11:30 p.m. and found a stabbing victim, said Lt. Mike Barney.
The victim’s wounds were superficial, he said, but the victim was hospitalized. Barney said the suspect appeared to have used a small pocket knife.
Officers searched the area but didn’t find the suspect.
Police don’t think the stabbing was random, he said. Preliminary information indicates the two knew each other.
