Saturday's stabbing comes exactly one week after two other people were stabbed on the city's southwest side. According to SAPD, two men got into some sort of fight with some other people in the 1000 block of Milvid Avenue on January 31. Police believe that's where they were stabbed and then they tried to get help a few miles away to the north at the Sunset Icehouse on Nogalitos Street, police said. In that case, police said the victims were uncooperative.
