Worker Stabbed By Homeless Person Near Santa Monica Pier



On Sunday, August 31, 2025, at approximately 5 p.m., Santa Monica Police officers responded to reports of a stabbing along Ocean Front Walk near the Santa Monica Pier.

Santa Monica Code Enforcement officers were first on scene and discovered a man bleeding from multiple wounds. They applied first aid and worked to stop the bleeding until firefighters arrived.

The victim, an employee of a nearby restaurant, had reportedly been eating lunch outside on the steps near his workplace when a man believed to be homeless allegedly approached from behind and stabbed him three times before fleeing east toward Ocean Avenue, according to a witness.

Santa Monica Fire paramedics provided further treatment, and the victim was transported by ambulance to a local hospital. His injuries appeared to be non-life-threatening.

Witnesses reported seeing the suspect around the restaurant area for several days prior to the incident, though a motive remains unclear. Police are actively investigating and searching for the assailant.
