An investigation is underway following a late-night stabbing outside of a Wendy’s on Tuesday, which left one man hospitalized.
At about 11 p.m. on the night of the stabbing, a Wendy’s employee, located at 1575 N. Victory Place, called the Burbank Police Department to report a man standing in the drive-thru lane claiming to have been stabbed. The first police officers to arrive found the victim, who was suffering from multiple stab wounds.
The victim told officers he and the suspect were both homeless. The two had an argument, which turned physical when the suspect stabbed the victim multiple times.
The victim, a 52-year-old man, was treated at the scene by officers and Burbank Fire Department paramedics before being transported to a local hospital. He is in stable condition and is expected to survive.
Multiple officers searched for the suspect but did not locate him. Investigators are canvassing the area for evidence and collecting surveillance footage.
Anyone with information is asked to call the BPD’s Investigation Division at (818) 238-3210.
