SAN DIEGO — Authorities say a Marine was stabbed outside a San Diego bar by a civilian who thought he was breaking up a fight.

San Diego police Officer Brad Ruff said two Marines had been drinking and were play-fighting early Saturday outside the bar in the Pacific Beach neighborhood. A third man interceded, stabbed one of the Marines and then left the scene, police said.

The victim didn’t realize he had been stabbed until he arrived by taxi at the gate of the Marine Corps Air Station Miramar.

The Marine was taken to a hospital with stab wounds to his chest and one of his arms.

Police are searching for the knife-wielding suspect.

1. That's pretty strange.

Who the hell breaks up a fistfight by stabbing someone?

3. Agreed. It's also strange to not be aware that you've sustained multiple stab wounds.

LOTS of alcohol involved, here :)

2. Great Minds

That is like shooting the child to stop the abuse. And they say alcohol is safe. Never knew a pot smoker to do something that stupid. Heck, it would require getting off the sofa.
