MAR VISTA, LOS ANGELES (KNX) — Authorities are searching for the suspect in the stabbing of an elderly man in Mar Vista. Police said the culprit targeted an 82-year-old man in a wheelchair.
The incident occurred on Oct. 3 at around 7 p.m., when a man entered a restaurant in the 12000 block of Venice Boulevard and stabbed the victim in the back multiple times before fleeing on foot.
Firest responders rushed the victim a nearby hospital with stab wounds to the neck and shoulder. The man is believed to be in stable condition.
