OCEANSIDE, Calif. (KGTV) -- A man was sent to the hospital after being stabbed during a fight in Oceanside, police said.

The incident occurred Sunday at around 5:20 a.m. in the 1300 block of Dubuque Street, according to Oceanside police.

Police were called to the area in response to a report of a “large fight,” but when officers arrived, “they were unable to locate any disturbance” but found “a large amount of blood at the scene.”

A witness told police they saw a black BMW speeding from the scene following the incident, according to police.

About 30 minutes later, officers were called to Tri-City Medical Center regarding a stabbing victim.

Police said, “The victim, a 25-year-old African American male, had sustained multiple stab wounds to the upper body and was subsequently transferred to Scripps Hospital. The victim was dropped off at Tri City Medical Center by an unknown party driving a black BMW.”

Anyone with information on this case, which is being investigated by Oceanside police’s Crimes of Violence Unit, is urged to call Det. Brent Keys at 760-435-4832.
