Man arrested after stabbing woman in Culver City

A 38-year-old man has been arrested for attempted murder after he stabbed a woman in Culver City on Sunday. 

Officers were dispatched to the 6100 block of Slauson Avenue at around 2:45 p.m. after receiving multiple calls about a fight happening in a parking lot in the area, according to a statement from Culver City Police Department. 

Upon arrival, they found a female victim who had been stabbed multiple times and was suffering from heavy bleeding. She was rushed to a nearby hospital for treatment and has since been released. 

The suspect, who fled from the foot on scene, was located by officers a short distance away hiding in bushes near Cougar Park, located at Hannum Avenue and Slauson Avenue. 

He was arrested without further incident and identified as Jorge Arnoldo Vasquez, 35.

"Initially, the suspect provided a false identity to police, indicating he was thirty-eight years old," said a statement from CCPD. 

He has been booked for attempted murder, assault with a deadly weapon and providing false identification to a peace officer and is being held on $2 million bail.

Investigators are working to determine what led up to the stabbing. They recovered the knife that they believe was used during the incident. 

The woman was reportedly able to wrestle the knife from Vasquez's hands after he stabbed her multiple times. 

Anyone with further information is asked to contact CCPD investigators at (310) 253-6120.
