Overview

  • The stabbing occurred the night of August 20 outside Hotel Indigo on Katella Avenue, roughly a 15‑minute walk from Disneyland Resort.
  • Anaheim Fire Department found an adult male around 9:21 p.m. and transported him to a nearby hospital, with his identity and precise condition not released.
  • Anaheim Police arrested a suspect at the scene, and investigators have not identified a motive.
  • Authorities cordoned off about a quarter mile of Katella Avenue to process evidence, forcing pedestrians and Disney visitors to reroute.
  • Unverified social-media posts claimed the victim was stable and referenced a second incident near a DoubleTree hotel, which outlets could not confirm; Disneyland has not commented because the incident occurred off its property.
