University police still are investigating the stabbing Saturday of a 48-year-old man, who was attacked at noon in People’s Park while waiting in a food line. 

“He had two or three cuts, but we certainly expect him to live,” said Capt. Bill Cooper of the UC Police Department. The man was taken to Alameda County Medical Center. 

The stabbing apparently occurred after an argument between the two men as they stood in line to receive food at the park. The incident occurred just about an hour before a concert organized by park supporters who are closing following this week’s UC student advisory vote on the park. 

Cooper said he did not know if the assailant and victim had “crossed paths before.” 

Detectives are trying to locate witnesses, and they are following promising leads to identify the assailant, he said.
