Stabbing at Pride Fort Lauderdale Festival injures two people, police say
Two people were recovering Sunday night after being stabbed at Pride Fort Lauderdale Beach Festival, police said.
It was not immediately clear what led to the two people — who were not identified — being stabbed.
“We believe this was an isolated incident which began as an altercation between two parties,” Casey Liening, a spokeswoman for Fort Lauderdale police, said.
The annual festival, which wrapped up Sunday with a fireworks display on the beach, included a parade, block parties and other events.
Liening said the incident happened by the main stage at 700 Seabreeze Blvd.
She said one person was transported to the hospital with a serious injury, but was expected to survive and the other person received superficial injuries.
Two people were detained. No other information was immediately available.
