San Jose: Stabbing investigated, traffic diversions deployed at tail end of Cinco de Mayo festivities

SAN JOSE — As a weekend of largely peaceful and jubilant Cinco de Mayo celebrations wound down, police were called to investigate a double stabbing near one event site and were instituting road closures to cut off access to areas where rowdy crowds were expanding, authorities said.

The San Jose Police Department announced at 6 p.m. Sunday evening that it was diverting traffic off East Santa Clara Street downtown and in the area of King and Story roads in East San Jose “due to illegal activity and safety concerns.”
