San Diego police rushed to the Union Grantville trolley station early Sunday evening after a report that someone had been stabbed. By the time officers sorted out what happened, they had confirmed one victim and one person detained at the scene.
The call came in to San Diego police just after 5 p.m. Sunday describing an assault with a deadly weapon, according to FOX 5 San Diego & KUSI News. The San Diego Police Department confirmed that one person was stabbed near the Union Grantville trolley station and that one person was detained at the scene.
A woman who was at the scene told the outlet that the person who was stabbed was her 16-year-old daughter. The woman confirmed her daughter suffered minor injuries, while police said the injuries were to her hands. The woman declined to discuss any other details about what happened.
What Remains Unknown
Beyond those basic details, much about the incident has not been established. The identity, age and relationship of the person detained to the victim have not been verified, and it is unclear whether that detention led to an arrest, booking or formal charges. No motive, weapon description or account of what led up to the stabbing has been confirmed, and the victim's condition beyond the reported minor hand injuries has not been addressed in any official police or medical statement.
Another Recent Trolley-Area Stabbing in San Diego
Sunday's stabbing was not the only recent incident of violence reported near a San Diego trolley stop. Another stabbing was reported near the Harborside Trolley Station in Barrio Logan, where officers responded around 7:30 p.m. on a Sunday to reports of an assault at South 28th Street and Boston Avenue, according to Patch. In that case, one victim suffering multiple stab wounds was taken to a local hospital in unknown condition, and one person was arrested on suspicion of the stabbing. As with the Grantville incident, Patch reported that a motive was not immediately known.
Sunday's Grantville case remains open, with police having confirmed that a stabbing occurred, one person was detained and the victim sustained minor injuries to her hands.
