BRAWLEY, Calif. (KYMA, KECY) – A 31-year old man was stabbed multiple times by his 23-year old brother-in-law at an apartment complex in Brawley Monday.
The Brawley Police Department (BPD) says the victim and the suspect got into an altercation after the victim allegedly poured milk on his child.
“They got into an argument over the victim’s son and who the victim was treating his son allegedly pouring milk on his head,” said commander Juan Morales, with the Brawley police department.
Police says the victim then asked the suspect to go outside and talk and led to the stabbing.
BPD say when they arrived, the victim was outside of the apartment sitting down on a chair with multiple stabbing wounds to his back and on the side of his armpit.
The suspect had left the scene.
“The suspect took off and was later located by the sheriff’s department approximately 40 minutes later in a community development in Brawley,” said commander Morales.
The suspect was found on River drive and Havilland avenue, 0.5 miles away from where the stabbing happened.
The suspect is currently at the Imperial County Jail and is being charged with attempted murder.
