A San Gabriel man was arrested earlier this month on suspicion of attacking another man with a machete during a dispute over money, police said Wednesday.

On March 18, San Gabriel police received a report of an assault that had occurred along the 400 block of South San Gabriel Boulevard. Officers responded to a hospital, where the 23-year-old victim was being treated for serious injuries to his head and torso, police said in a news release.


An investigation revealed the victim had been attacked during a dispute over money, police said without elaborating.

The suspect was eventually identified as Yuanfeng Kuang, who is in his 20s, and a search warrant was served at his home.

He was arrested on suspicion of attempted homicide and possession of a controlled substance for sale.

No further details about the incident, victim or suspect have been released.
