In a shocking and violent night, police are investigating a harrowing triple stabbing in the Westlake District that has left three men in critical condition. The brutal attacks unfolded just after 1:30 AM near Bonnie Bray and Third Street, with all victims sustaining severe injuries, including one man slashed across the neck. First responders found him bleeding heavily after he managed to stagger several blocks before collapsing at the corner of Sixth Street.

Authorities believe the stabbings are linked to a single assailant, who may have wielded a large knife, possibly a chef’s knife, based on the nature of the wounds. Disturbingly, the victims, all men in their 30s, were unable to provide any description of their attacker, leading investigators to suspect a random act of violence rather than a targeted assault. The lack of connection between the victims raises alarming questions about the suspect’s motives.

As the investigation unfolds, police are also probing an unrelated stabbing and three separate shootings that occurred in the area overnight, indicating a surge in violence that has left the community on edge. The LAPD Rampart substation is at the forefront of the investigation, which saw the crime scene cleared around 4:30 AM.

With the victims currently in stable but critical condition at the hospital, the urgency to apprehend the suspect grows. Authorities are appealing for any witnesses or information that could lead to an arrest. Residents are urged to remain vigilant as the search for this dangerous individual continues, marking a grim chapter for the Westlake District. Stay tuned for updates as this story develops.
