Shopper stabbed after refusing to wear face mask at Santa Monica grocery store.

But the shopper allegedly attacked the guard who pulled out a pocket knife and jabbed him with it several times, witnesses told police.

“That guy was bleeding profusely, where he’d (the guard) gotten him,” witness Andre Berryman told the news outlet. “So that was pretty much what happened. It was all behind him not wearing a mask.”

The guard called 911 at around 10:35 p.m. to report the altercation, FOX13 reported.

The customer was rushed to the hospital with several stab wounds and underwent surgery, police told CBS Los Angeles.
