3 Youths Arrested in Irvine Stabbing

A man was stabbed in the chest several times at his home Thursday by four teen-agers whom he had befriended, police said.

Three suspects were arrested late Thursday, Lt. Robert Lennert said. One remains at large.

Stephen Symington, 37, had met them recently and let them into his apartment on Thunder Run about noon Thursday. Shortly afterward, the youths began attacking him with a knife and a baseball bat, Irvine Police Sgt. Phil Povey said. They also ransacked his apartment, police said.

Symington was in serious condition at Western Medical Center-Santa Ana.
