A man in his 20s is hospitalized Thursday after being shot by an assailant near downtown Los Angeles.
Officers from the Los Angeles Police Department’s Central Division responded at approximately 10:50 p.m. Wednesday to 548 Mateo and Sixth streets west of Santa Fe Avenue where they learned the victim was approached by four men and the victim began arguing with them, an LAPD spokeswoman told City News Service.
At some point one of the suspects drew a handgun and fired multiple shots at the victim. The suspects drove away from the scene.
A videographer at the scene said the suspects were later arrested but LAPD could not confirm that.
The victim was taken to a hospital in stable condition.
