Fight Ends In Stabbing Near 'Marin’s Got Talent' Event In Fairfax

FAIRFAX, CA – A Sunday night fight in downtown Fairfax left a man hospitalized with multiple stab wounds in the back and head and his brother arrested.

Police spotted the brawl during a routine patrol at 10:47 p.m. in the Parkade across from the 19 Broadway Bar and Night Club, which was hosting a rap event called "Marin’s Got Talent," according to the Fairfax Police Department.

When the people involved saw the police car, they fled in many directions, said Fairfax police Chief Christopher Morin. A police officer stopped a vehicle fleeing from the scene and found the stabbing victim inside.

The 26-year-old man from Santa Rosa was transported to Marin General Hospital for surgery. He is in stable condition with non-life-threatening wounds, Morin said. His 30-year-old brother, the driver of the car, was arrested for an outstanding drug warrant out of Marin County.

The suspect in the stabbing was still at large, Morin said. He was described as a tall Hispanic male. No further details were available.

"Many witnesses were not forthcoming with information," Morin said. "The stabbing victim and his brother were uncooperative and would not provide details of what occurred."

Officers from Ross Police Department, Central Marin Police Authority and College of Marin assisted Fairfax police in the initial crime scene investigation. The San Rafael Police Department’s Crime Scene Investigation Team responded and processed the multiple scenes and evidence. Portions of downtown Fairfax were shut down for hours.

The incident was still under investigation. Anyone with information or surveillance footage is asked to contact the Fairfax Police Department.
