YUBA COUNTY, CA — A Yuba City man was hospitalized after being stabbed Thursday morning. Today, the Sutter County Sheriff's Office (SCSO) says a suspect has been identified and arrested.

The Sheriff's Office says deputies were dispatched to Second Street in Yuba City for an assault with a deadly weapon around 9:45 a.m. on Thursday, May 30. They say the victim was stabbed in the lower stomach.

SCSO says the victim was transported to Adventist Health with non-life-threatening injuries. They say the victim didn't know if the suspect was male or female and only remembered the suspect wearing a black hoodie. The reason for the altercation is still unknown, as SCSO says the victim is not cooperating with their investigation.
