Officers responded just after midnight on Wednesday morning to 700 El Prado and located the victim, who was transported to a hospital for treatment of a non-life threatening stab wound, according to Sgt. J. Ruvido of the San Diego Police Department.

A preliminary investigation determined the victim was confronted by a man who was making “bizarre statements and gestures,” then stabbed the victim and fled the scene, Ruvido said.

The suspect was described as a Hispanic man in his mid 30s, 5 feet 4 inches tall with a medium build, wearing a black shirt and shorts along with a black mask covering most of his face, the sergeant said.

The victim’s children were not hurt.

Central Division detectives were handling the investigation.
