Officers of the Police Department of San Mateo County SMPD arrested three men on Thursday, March 2, for criminal threats, conspiracy, and knife assault in San Mateo County.
On Thursday afternoon at approximately 2:49 p.m., SMPD officers were dispatched to the West Hillsdale Boulevard unit block on a report of a stabbing.
Officers quickly arrived on scene and located a male victim in the parking lot who had not been stabbed and did not require medical assistance. However, officers learned that a suspect, later identified as Anderson Lez Guzman, and a friend of the victim were involved in a physical fight on Edison Street.
When the victim attempted to stop the fight, Guzman brandished a knife and said he would stab the victim and threatened to kill her. When the victim fled, two additional suspects, later identified as Andy Pez-Juez and Christian Lima, began chasing her. Juez armed himself with a knife during the chase, but the victim managed to elude the suspects.
As SMPD continued to investigate the scene, Guzman returned to the scene. Officers detained Guzman after they located a knife that matched the description provided by the victim, who identified Guzman as one of the suspects.
Shortly after officers located the vehicle, officers observed Judge and Lima returning to the vehicle and both were detained.
Ultimately, all three suspects were transported to San Mateo County Sheriff's Office.
