Man arrested after stabbing
MEDIA CITY CENTER -- A Los Angeles man was arrested on suspicion
of stabbing another man in the food court of the Media City Center.
The 20-year-old victim was stabbed in the shoulder Thursday,
Police Sgt. John Dilibert said. The man was treated at Providence St.
Joseph Medical Center, and his injuries did not appear to be
life-threatening, Dilibert said.
Alvin Hernandez Silva, 22, allegedly stabbed the victim in a
hallway near a bathroom in the mall's dining area. Silva was with
another man, who escaped.
It appeared the three men knew each other and exchanged words,
Dilibert said.
Witnesses gave officers descriptions of the men, and Silva was
stopped and arrested on suspicion of attempted murder. A knife with a
3-inch blade was found in a nearby bush.
