An 18-year-old man was stabbed during an argument and then arrested by police in the O’Farrell neighborhood of southeastern San Diego, police said Monday.
Just after 6 p.m. Sunday, officers were dispatched to a home in the 6100 block of Alderley Street after reports of gunfire, according to the San Diego Police Department.
When police arrived at the scene, they learned it was a stabbing, not a shooting, following an argument in the home.
During the argument, the suspect hit another man with a handgun, and was then stabbed three times in self defense. The injured suspect then ran out of the house and was taken to a hospital by an unknown person.
Police arrested Giovanni Diaz, who they said would be charged with assault with a deadly weapon after he recovers from his wounds.
