Man Recovering From Park Stabbing in Walnut

A man stabbed in a Walnut park was hospitalized Saturday with a severe arm injury.

The stabbing was reported around 11:25 p.m. Friday at Suzanne Park, in the 600 block of Suzanne Road, sheriff's Sgt. Rob Blunt of the Walnut Station said.

The victim, who was stabbed in his left arm, was airlifted to a hospital
for treatment, but no condition report was available, Blunt said, describing the
man's wound as "pretty severe.''

It was unclear if the stabbing was gang-related. No suspect information was available, he said.

Investigators had trouble communicating with the victim, who speaks Mandarin Chinese, Blunt said.
