MYRTLE BEACH — Myrtle Beach police are investigating after a 24-year-old man was stabbed, according to a police report.

The victim got into a vehicle with a friend and was taken to the hospital.

Another witness told police that she saw the suspect in a parking lot and told him he was not supposed to be there and that was when the victim confronted the suspect and the men began to fight, according to the report.
