A man was stabbed in an arm and leg Friday night while standing on a street corner in Rolando, authorities said.

Police responded at 6:03 p.m. to a reported stabbing near the corner of 63rd and Acorn streets, according to San Diego Police Department Officer Robert Heims.

Witnesses told officers that the 33-year-old male victim was standing with a friend on the street corner when a group of three or four men approached and an argument ensued, Heims said.

It was not clear what the argument was about, Heims said.

During the argument, one of the suspects stabbed the victim twice in a leg and twice in an arm, Heims said.

The victim was taken to a hospital with non-life threatening injuries, Heims said.

The suspects fled in a black Nissan Altima headed westbound on Acorn Street, he added.

One suspect was described as a man, about 5 feet 6 inches tall, "medium build" and last seen wearing a white baseball cap.

A second suspect was described as a man, about 5 feet 10 inches tall with tattoos on his back and shoulders. A third suspect was described as a man, about 5 feet 8 inches tall and last seen wearing a white hat and blue polo shirt.
