Police Seek Witnesses to Seal Beach Stabbing

Seal Beach Police are asking anyone who has information about a stabbing near the San Gabriel River jetty to come forward.

On Saturday, officers responding to a report of a robbery west of the jetty separating Seal Beach and Long Beach discovered a homeless man who had been stabbed in the back.

According to police, two Long Beach transients aged 57 and 58, had gotten into a fight.

“During the fight, one of the subjects was in possession of a knife and stabbed the other subject in the back,” said Seal Beach Police Department Sgt. Philip Gonshak. “Both subjects were detained by responding Officers and transported to local hospitals for non-life threatening injuries.”

The cause of the argument and the circumstances of the stabbing remain under investigation, and no arrests have been made yet, he said.

Anyone with further information, is asked to contact Detective Gary Krogman at (562) 799-4100 ext. 1108 or gkrogman@sealbeachca.gov.
