A man was stabbed in Long Beach after he refused to cooperate with a suspect demanding cash Friday afternoon, Aug. 9, authorities said.

Officers responded to a local hospital about 2 p.m. regarding a stabbing victim, police spokeswoman Shaunna Dandoy said.

When they arrived, the victim told them he was walking near Anaheim Street and Stanley Avenue when another man approached and demanded cash. When the victim refused, the suspect fought with the victim and eventually stabbed him in the upper torso, Dandoy said.

The victim’s wounds were considered non-life threatening.

Officers went to the intersection, but did not find a suspect.
