According to police, a 12-year-old boy was arrested this week in San Mateo on suspicion of attempted murder after he allegedly stabbed another boy.
San Mateo police responded to Central Park around Monday evening after someone reported a stabbing to 911. One victim was located in the park with a stab wound to the left side of her body. He was taken to the hospital and his current condition has not been released.
Investigators learned that the victim knew her alleged attacker, whom she identified. The suspect apparently fled on a bicycle after stabbing the victim.
After multiple interviews with witnesses, police were able to find the 12-year-old suspect walking in the 800 block of North Humboldt Street around 8:20 p.m. and he was detained and booked into Hillcrest Youth Center on suspicion of attempted murder.
The investigation is ongoing and police are seeking surveillance footage in this case. Anyone who may have images or any other information helpful to this case is asked to contact the San Mateo Police Department at (650) 522-7700.
