A man was recently arrested for the alleged attempted murder of a woman in Culver City.
According to a press release by the Culver City Police Department, officers responded to the 6100 block of Slauson Avenue on the afternoon of Sunday, May 5, after receiving multiple calls about an altercation between two people. At the scene, officers discovered that an adult woman had been stabbed multiple times.
The victim received medical aid at the scene before being treated at an area hospital and later released.
