A father and his teenage son were the victims of an early Sunday morning stabbing in their Placentia apartment after two men allegedly broke in, police said.
At about 3:37 a.m., police responded to an unknown call at an apartment at 140 W. Orangethorpe Ave., where a 34-year-old father and his 14-year-old son were found stabbed, the Placentia Police Department said. Both were transported to a local trauma center and were expected to survive.
The attackers were described as two men in their 30s dressed in dark clothing who allegedly gained access into the apartment by breaking the front window, police said. They then attacked the father, who was in the living room, and the son tried to intervene when he was stabbed by one of the suspects, according to police.
The incident appears to be a targeted attack against the father and there were no public safety concerns, police said in a news release.
Anyone with information related to the incident was encouraged to call detectives at 714-993-8146 or by email at jjones@placentia.org
