CLEARLAKE, Calif. – A male subject was reported to have been stabbed during a Thursday afternoon incident, and later was transported to an out-of-county trauma center.

The man reportedly had been stabbed in the chest and was losing consciousness. Radio reports indicated that it was not immediately known how many wounds the man had.
