Two men allegedly involved in a food truck stabbing in Glendale that resulted in two victims being hospitalized have been arrested, police said on Thursday.
Officers responded to a report of two stabbing victims in the 300 block of West Broadway, near Central Avenue, around 11 p.m. on June 14, according to Sgt. Victor Jackson, the Glendale Police Department’s public information officer.
Two men approached a food truck, brandishing a knife, prompting a male customer to intervene, which resulted in him and another person being stabbed, Jackson said. Both victims were taken to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, GPD said.
The two suspects were identified as a 23-year-old resident of Northridge and 28-year-old resident of Bakersfield, said Jackson, who noted that one of the men was on probation and had been previously arrested by the GPD.
Detectives located the suspects at Zaroukian’s home in Northridge and requested the assistance of the Glendale Police Department’s SWAT team to ensure a safe apprehension of the two suspects, Jackson said.
Both victims have been released from the hospital and are recovering from their injuries.
