2 Injured in City Heights Knife Fight Over 'Snitching'

SAN DIEGO - Two people were injured during a City Heights knife fight that erupted over "snitching," police said Monday.

San Diego police officers responded Sunday evening to 2600 N. 44th St. in response to an argument, according to the San Diego Police Department. Shortly before 7 p.m., an unidentified man argued with his neighbor, who accused him of "snitching him out" over unknown incident, police said.

During the argument, two acquaintances of the neighbor arrived, and the group began fighting. Knives were drawn and one victim sustained a slash to his arm, police said.

The victim was taken to a nearby hospital. Two hours later, a second victim arrived at the hospital with a cut to his left arm, but he denied being involved in the fight, police said.

Neither man was seriously injured. San Diego detectives did not say if anyone was arrested; the incident is under investigation.
