2 juveniles stabbed at Brenden Theatres in downtown Modesto; 2 teens arrested
Two juveniles were stabbed Friday night during a fight in a downtown Modesto movie theater lobby, police said.
Modesto police officers responded to the fight around 7 p.m. at the Brenden Theatres on Tenth Street Plaza, Lt. Brian Kleiber said.
Police believe two groups of juveniles, about nine people in total, were arguing when two boys from one group took out knives and stabbed two boys from the other group.
One of the victims was stabbed in the arm and the other in the hip. Both were treated on scene by medics for wounds that were not life-threatening, and at least one was taken to a hospital, Kleiber said.
Later Friday night, officers arrested two 13-year-old boys in connection with the stabbing later, Kleiber said. The suspects had fled in a gray SUV immediately following the fight.
The department is still investigating the incident, Kleiber said.
