A 52-year-old man was stabbed in the arm at the Iris Avenue Transit Center in Otay Mesa West, according to the San Diego Police Department (SDPD). The incident occurred around 2:46 a.m. on Thursday following a dispute.

 

The man, who was waiting at the bus and trolley platform, was approached by a group of people who appeared to be homeless.

The victim was transported to a hospital for treatment, and his injury is not considered life-threatening.
