Grover Beach police tracked down and arrested the man who allegedly stabbed a man early Saturday morning.

Shortly before 1 a.m., a 911 caller reported a stabbing in the 100 block of South 11th Street in Grover Beach. Officers arrived to find a man suffering from multiple life-threatening stab wounds.

The victim, who has known the suspect for several years, identified Benjamin Robert Sedeno, of Santa Maria, as his attacker. Sedeno, 38, fled the scene before officers arrived.
