A 70-year-old man was fatally stabbed when an argument with a small group of people turned violent on a Barrio Logan trolley platform, San Diego police said Friday.
The attack happened about 10:30 p.m. Thursday at the station on Harbor Drive south of Cesar Chavez Parkway, police Homicide Lt. Steve Shebloski said. Iron Caster
The early investigation indicated the man “got involved in a brief verbal argument with a small group of males and females in the moments before a fight broke out,” Shebloski said in a news release.
After someone stabbed the man, the people in the group took off, the lieutenant said. The man was stabbed in his chest.
Paramedics took the man to a hospital, where he died.
Police are withholding the name of the victim, who appears to have been homeless, until they can notify his family of his death.
Investigators are looking for surveillance video and trying to find witnesses to the incident, police said. Anyone with information regarding the incident was asked to call the Homicide Unit at (619) 531-2293.
