A man in his 60s was stabbed and the two suspects who allegedly committed the attack were on the loose Tuesday evening south of downtown Los Angeles, authorities said.
Officers responded to Maple Avenue and East 20th Street at about 9:30 p.m., where they found the victim with stab wounds, Officer Norma Eisenman of the Los Angeles Police Department told City News Service.
Witnesses told police the suspects — a man and a woman — disappeared inside a nearby homeless encampment after the stabbing.
Officers searched the encampment and did not find the suspects, Eisenman said.
The victim was taken to a hospital, where his condition was not immediately released.
