Santa Cruz Police arrested a 44-year-old man Tuesday morning for allegedly stabbing a 43-year-old man who was camping near him behind a building on the 500 block of Front Street.
The victim, who was taken for treatment out of the county, told police that he and his girlfriend were camped illegally near Randolph Tolley. Tolley, the victim said, came into his campsite and started hitting him.
