posted (February 24, 2014)
Alfredo Martinez, a resident of 170 East Canal, continues to receive treatment at the KHMH tonight after he was either chopped with a machete or slashed with a knife in the head and face.

But it's no common "cut him up" crime because police say that his brother is their main suspect. Today, they told 7News why:

Inspector Jorge Villanueva, Operation's Commander
"Last night shortly after 8pm police responded to an incident. They visited #170 East Canal where on their arrival they encounter a dispute between two brothers. As a result, one sustains superficial cut wounds to the head and the nose. He was transported to the KHMH where he was treated and police are investigating into the matter. His brother Ricardo Martinez, 53 years old, Salvadorian security of the same address - he has been detained and he will be charged shortly."

Neighbours say that just last week, the brothers had a fight.
