LAKEPORT, Calif. – The Lakeport Police Department is seeking two suspects that are alleged to have been involved with a stabbing early Friday.

 

Sgt. Kevin Odom said the stabbing occurred shortly before 2:30 a.m. Friday in the 700 block of Manzanita Street in Lakeport.

 

He said Lakeport Police officers were dispatched to the scene on the report of a stabbing victim.

 

Once on scene, officers contacted the 20-year-old male victim who had what appeared to be a stab wound to his stomach, Odom said.

 

The victim, who resides in the area, told police he discovered two unknown males in an adjacent vacant residence and confronted them. Odom said one of the males allegedly stabbed the victim with a small knife before both suspects fled north on Manzanita Street.

 

He said the victim provided an initial description of the suspect who stabbed him as a white male with short dark hair wearing dark clothing.

 

The victim was transported to Sutter Lakeside Hospital where he was treated for his injury and later released, according to Odom.

 

The incident is under investigation, Odom said.

 

Anyone with information about this case is encouraged to contact Lakeport Police Department Officer Joe Eastham at 707-263-5491
