Halloween Stab Victim Expected to Live

Four suspects flee after knifing a 21-year-old man four times in the upper torso.

A 21-year-old man is expected to survive after being stabbed four times early Monday at a Halloween party in the 21000 block of Camargo, the Orange County Sheriff’s Department reported.

Four men in their late teens to early 20s reportedly stabbed the victim in his upper torso using a sharp object, then fled before deputies arrived shortly after 1:30 a.m. The injuries were not life-threatening, said sheriff’s Lt. Roland Chacon.

The stabbing occurred after a fight broke out inside the house party, then moved to the front yard. Chacon would not state whether investigators have identified any of the suspects.
