Fullerton – Four people were stabbed at The Continental Room, a bar in trendy downtown Fullerton, early Sunday morning.
All four victims, three women and one man in their 20s, were released from the hospital after being treated for non-life threatening injuries. The worst of the injuries was suffered by the man who received sutures in his neck, according Sergeant Jeff Stuart from the Fullerton police department. The names of the victims have yet to be released.
At the time of the stabbing the bar was hosting its weekly Electric Saturday event, which runs from 9 p.m. to 2 a.m. Sunday morning when the bar closes. Electric Saturdays are one of several themed music nights hosted at the bar, according to their website.
The Continental Room is located on West Santa Fe Avenue and is across the street from the Fullerton Transportation Center and Metrolink. It was founded in 1925 and on its website claims to be “the oldest drinking establishment in the city.” The website also states that The Continental Room takes pride in its rich history, specially designed 60s vibe, and great music.
In a phone interview on Monday, Sergeant Stuart stated that it is unknown how many people were involved in the stabbing and what the motive of the crime might be. The Fullerton Police Department is currently investigating the matter and is encouraging anyone who has information on the incident to come forward, or call (714) 738-6800.
