A 63-year-old man was arrested following a confrontation that ended with another man stabbed, including having part of his ear cut off.
On February 19, 2022, at around 8:55AM, Camarillo deputies responded to a call of fight in the 50 Block of Oak Street in Camarillo. They arrived and found a male victim suffering from multiple stab wounds to his body, along with a severed ear.
