Police Searching For Suspect In Connection With Stabbing At Culver City Hotel

CULVER CITY (CBSLA) -- Police are looking to identify and locate the suspect involved in a stabbing at a hotel lobby in Culver City on Friday night.

The Culver City Police Department responded to a call around 9:06 p.m. on Friday of an argument between two men that resulted in a stabbing in the lobby of the Double Tree Culver City, 6161 W. Centinela Ave.

Paramedics dispatched to the location "began to treat the victim, who was lying on the lobby floor bleeding profusely and losing consciousness,'' police said.

The victim was transported to a hospital in critical condition with multiple stab wounds, but is expected to survive, according to police.
