SAN DIEGO—Two teens were stabbed by a teen suspect in Mission Beach, police said on June 15.

The stabbings happened around 9 p.m. Wednesday during an argument at 3300 Oceanfront Walk, according to Officer John Buttle of the San Diego Police Department.

A group had gathered for a celebration of life, the officer said, when an argument broke out and a 19-year-old woman used a knife to cut a 19-year-old woman in the upper arm, and a 19-year-old man in the right forearm, cutting an artery.

The suspect then chased the victims around with the knife, Buttle said.

Police found the victims in the south alley of 700 Jersey Court and rushed them to the hospital with injuries not considered to be life-threatening.

Officers are still searching for the suspect, who was described as 5 feet, 3 inches tall, wearing a white top, black hoodie, shorts, and sandals, Buttle said.

San Diego Police Department Northern Division detectives were investigating the stabbings.
