Woodland police are investigating the stabbing of a homeless man on Saturday night.
Sgt. Aaron Delao said officers were dispatched shortly after 11:30 p.m. to the 900 block of Court Street, where a 32-year-old man had suffered multiple stab wounds to his chest and neck area. He was taken to the UC Davis Medical Center in Sacramento for treatment of his injuries, which Delao described as life-threatening.
Delao said the victim had set up a camping site behind a shuttered restaurant when two suspects approached him and started an altercation that led to the stabbing. The assailants were described by witnesses as Latino male adults, both heavy-set and wearing dark hooded sweatshirts. Both were last seen headed westbound on Court Street.
The victim was listed in stable condition as of Sunday, Delao said.
Anyone with information about this incident is urged to call the Woodland Police Department at 530-666-2411.
