A man suffered multiple stab wounds Sunday in an attack in the Westlake area of Los Angeles, authorities said.
It happened at 12:20 a.m. at Sixth Street and Union Avenue, Sgt. Melvin Gamble of the Los Angeles Police Department‘s Rampart Station said.
The victim and another man were too drunk to remember details about the attack, Gamble said. “People become so drunk they are very vulnerable.”
The victim was stabbed around the neck, back and legs and had lacerations on the back of his head, the sergeant said. He was taken to a hospital for treatment.
A witness who also had a lot to drink told officers four men attacked the victim, Gamble said.
His wounds were not believed life threatening, he said.
