Three suspects were taken into custody after an assault took place on Main Street in Santa Monica in the early hours of Tuesday.

On June 11, just after midnight, SMPD officers responded to a 911 call of an assault in the 2700 block of Main Street. After authorities arrived, the male victim was transported to a local hospital for treatment. Further details about the victim’s injuries or his condition “is not known”, according to an SMPD spokesperson.  

Locals were alerted of the incident via an SMAlert which was sent at 12:35 a.m., urging people to avoid the area of Main Street between Hill and Ashland as it was closed due to police activity. Normal activities resumed in that area about five hours later.

More information will be released as the investigation progresses, according to the spokesperson.  
Anyone with information about this incident is encouraged to contact Detective Tavera at Hector.tavera@santamonica.gov or the Watch Commander at 310-458-8427.
