Four women were injured in downtown Los Angeles in what police are describing as a stabbing investigation that prompted investigators to shut down a busy intersection in the area.

According to the Los Angeles Police Department, officers responded to 515 W. 7th Street near the intersection of Flower Street for a reported stabbing.

Officials said callers described a suspect with a folding knife at 7th Street and Grand Avenue, though it’s unclear if any arrests have been made.

Details are limited and it’s unknown what exactly happened, but preliminary information suggests that there may have been some sort of altercation in a bar along downtown’s restaurant row that left four women between the ages of 26 and 37 injured, officials said.

All four were taken to the hospital in fair condition, with investigators saying the woman in her 30s suffered serious lacerations to her wrist.

The incident appears to have taken place inside Zaya, a bar restaurant with several lounge areas for customers. The restaurant released a statement Sunday evening on Instagram, saying in part:

“While some situations develop unexpectedly and are beyond our control, the safety of our guests and staff remains our highest priority. We are especially grateful for the swift response of our team, as well as the immediate support of local law enforcement and emergency personnel.”

Footage of the incident posted to Citizen showed a heavy police presence at the intersection, as well as Los Angeles Fire Department firefighters and medical personnel.

In a post to X, officials with LAPD’s Central Division said, “Officers have responded and closed off the area. Expect traffic delays in the area.”

In an update posted to X later in the evening, police officials said that two suspects were in custody in connection with the incident.
