A man was stabbed to death in Eagle Rock after trying to rescue his son from a fight on the Fourth of July.
The incident took place near the intersection of Figueroa Street and La Loma Road around 8 p.m. on Saturday evening. According to KTLA, the 53-year old man was stabbed to death by two attackers after trying to break up a fight involving his son.
