PACIFICA, CA — A 27-year-old Pacifica man was arrested over the weekend after allegedly stabbing another male who was attempting to break up a heated argument at Pacifica State Beach, according to authorities.

Officers and paramedics were called Saturday shortly after midnight to the 5400 block of Cabrillo Highway, where a man was stabbed following a dispute at the beach's south end, the Pacifica Police Department said.

The victim, 29, was treated by medics at the scene and taken to an area trauma center for injuries deemed serious, but not life-threatening, police said.
