1 arrested after fatal stabbing at Puente Hills Mall
A man is dead after he was stabbed at Puente Hills Mall in the City of Industry Thursday night.
The man, believed to be in his early to mid-30s, was attacked just before 11 p.m. in the 1600 block of Azusa Avenue, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department said in a news release.
That address corresponds to the mall, and SGV CityWatch reported that the stabbing occurred at the shopping center.
When deputies arrived, they found the man suffering from a stab wound and lying on the sidewalk. He was taken to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
A person was arrested and a knife was recovered at the scene, police said, though they declined to provide information about the suspected assailant.
A motive for the attack has not been released, and no further information was available.
