KOREATOWN (CBSLA.com) — A man was fatally stabbed and another was arrested in Koreatown early Wednesday morning after he was initially believed to have tried to intervene in an argument.

The incident was reported just after 3 a.m. at Third Street and Serrano Avenue, according to the Los Angeles Police Department.
