A suggestion that a transient man in Ocean Beach should “get a job” ended with a pair of stabbings, and the transient getting arrested, police said Saturday.
The two victims were with a group of men leaving a bar Saturday evening when they walked past a group of transients gathered on Newport Avenue at Bacon Street in Ocean Beach, San Diego police said.
One man made a remark to the transients about getting jobs. An argument started between the two groups, police said.
The situation escalated and one of the transients stabbed two of the men who had just left the bar — a 31 year-old man in the left cheek and a 29 year-old man in the right upper torso, the SDPS report said.
The two victims were taken to a hospital with what police called non- life-threatening injuries.
The transient, a 20 year-old man, fled but was arrested a short time later.
