Six people were injured in a mass stabbing at a Halloween party in West Covina, California, early Sunday morning. Police responded to the 2000 block of West Pacific Avenue around 1:29 a.m. after receiving reports of a large group fighting.
Upon arrival, officers discovered three victims with stab wounds. Three additional individuals later presented at local hospitals with similar injuries. All six victims sustained non-life-threatening injuries, according to law enforcement.
Shortly after the incident, California Highway Patrol officers alerted local police to a vehicle crash near the 10 Freeway and Vincent Avenue off-ramp. The driver of the crashed vehicle, who also had stab wounds, was identified as being connected to the party and was taken into custody.
The suspect, identified as 22-year-old Luis Antonio Zavala Jr. of Los Angeles, was arrested and booked on suspicion of attempted murder. Investigators reported that a weapon believed to have been used in the attack has been recovered. Zavala is being held on $1 million bail and is awaiting a court appearance at the West Covina Courthouse.
