In a shocking and violent turn of events, three men were brutally stabbed in the Westlake District overnight, leaving the community in turmoil and police scrambling for answers. The terrifying spree unfolded between West 6 and South Bonnie Braay Street, with authorities confirming that all victims were found with severe upper body wounds, including one with life-threatening injuries to the neck.

The first incident occurred just before 1:30 AM, with the final victim managing to stagger several blocks before collapsing on Sixth Street, where first responders discovered him bleeding profusely from his injuries. All three men, aged in their 30s, are currently hospitalized in stable but critical condition, fighting for their lives as detectives work tirelessly to piece together the chaotic events of the night.

Authorities believe these stabbings are linked and likely the work of a single assailant. Preliminary investigations suggest the attacker may have wielded a large knife, possibly a chef’s knife, given the nature of the wounds inflicted. Disturbingly, none of the victims were able to provide a description of their attacker, and detectives do not believe they knew one another, indicating a random act of violence.

As if the night couldn’t get worse, police are also probing another unrelated stabbing and three separate shootings in the vicinity, painting a picture of a night steeped in fear and chaos. The LAPD Rampart station remains a hub of activity as investigators sift through evidence and seek to identify the suspect responsible for this horrific spree.

Residents are urged to remain vigilant as the search for the attacker continues. With the community shaken and the investigation ongoing, more updates are expected soon. Stay tuned for the latest developments in this alarming story.
