A man waiting for an Uber at a downtown San Diego street corner was stabbed early Sunday morning, San Diego Police reported.

Just after 2 a.m., a 37-year-old man waiting for his Uber ride on the corner of 8th Avenue and B Street was approached by two women and a man.

The victim began talking to one of the women when she reached into his pocket and stole his cellphone. The suspects ran away and the victim chased them. After he caught up with them, the male suspect turned and stabbed the victim in the right arm.

As the victim began to bleed, he witnessed the three suspects running away and getting into a red Chevy Camaro that fled westbound on B Street.

The victim was taken to a hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

Anyone with information about this crime is encouraged to call San Diego County Crime Stoppers at (888) 580-8477.
