Arrest made after man stabbed at Triangle Park in Huntington Beach

Huntington Beach police have made an arrest after a stabbing that occurred at Triangle Park on Sunday night.

Police said they responded at 7:04 p.m. after receiving several calls of a fight at the park, located at 521 Main St., involving three males. Both the suspect and victim had sustained injuries, and the victim was transferred to a local hospital for treatment of a stab wound.

An arrest was made during the course of the investigation for assault with a deadly weapon. But officials said they aren’t releasing names of the involved parties or specific details due to the ongoing investigation.
