Paso Robles police search for attackers in stabbing of 18-year-old
An 18-year-old man was stabbed while walking near Centennial Park in Paso Robles on Wednesday night, and police are asking for the public’s help in identifying anyone involved.
Shortly before 11:30 p.m., the alleged victim was walking along a path in the area of Andrea Circle and Lana Street when he was approached by at least one person and stabbed twice in the upper torso, according to a Paso Robles Police Department news release.

After the stabbing, police searched the area but were unable to find the culprit or culprits. No suspects have been identified, but police say the incident was isolated and not gang-related.
