LOS ANGELES - The search is on for a man accused of stabbing his wife near a popular Venice intersection.
The Los Angeles Police Department responded to a call near the intersection of Abbot Kinney Boulevard and Venice Boulevard on Monday around 5:45 a.m. Upon arrival, officers found a woman who was stabbed multiple times, LAPD said in a press release.
The woman told police it was her husband who stabbed her after she parked her car near Washington Boulevard and Yale Avenue. LAPD said a good Samaritan found the woman and drove her to a safer location.
