Hermosa Bar Fight Escalates to Stabbing

Two victims were transported to the hospital and one suspect was arrested.

  • Here's an updated article that amends the prevous police report that the verbal argument began in Sharkeez: 

A verbal argument inside Baja Sharkeez late Sunday night resulted in two being stabbed outside the bar when the fight turned physical on Pier Plaza, according to Hermosa Beach Police Detective Mick Gaglia.

As many as 10 individuals were believed to have been involved in the fight. An unknown object was used to stab the two male Hispanic victims who were taken to an area hospital, said Gaglia.

One of the suspects, a black male, Dimetrick Richmond, 26, of Whittier, was arrested under suspicion of attempted murder a few blocks away after police responded to the 11:40 p.m. Sunday call, Gaglia said. Richmond was arrested after being positively identified as having been involved in the stabbing and is being held on $1 million bail, said Gaglia.
