Man Stabbed in Diamond Bar Road Rage Incident

A road rage incident that began in San Bernardino County this morning ended with a motorist stabbed off the Orange (57) Freeway in Diamond Bar, authorities said.

California Highway Patrol officers received a report about 6 a.m. of a traffic crash and parties involved in a fight on the southbound side of the freeway and as they responded they learned that someone had been stabbed and was at a Wienerschnitzel restaurant on Diamond Bar Boulevard at Sunset Crossing Road, according to the CHP.

When officers arrived, a 31-year-old Alta Loma man was being treated by medical personnel before he was airlifted to County-USC Medical Center for treatment of two stab wounds to his back, the CHP reported.

Investigators learned that the victim had gotten into a road rage incident with another man on westbound San Bernardino (10) Freeway in Montclair and that it led to them getting into a fight when both stopped on the Orange Freeway near Sunset Crossing Road, according to the CHP.

“The suspect used a knife during the altercation and stabbed the victim ... before fleeing the scene,” according to a CHP statement.

The suspect is described as a Latino, in his 30s, 5 feet 8 inches tall with a thin build, short dark hair and a mustache. He was possibly driving a late 90s black or gray Jeep or SUV-type vehicle.

Anyone who may have witnessed the incident was urged to contact the CHP’s Baldwin Park Station at (626) 338-1164.
