The incident took place at around 10 p.m., and involved two groups of people who broke into a fight in an area of the fairgrounds where liquor is sold, according to KTLA.One man was stabbed during the course of the fight. "Officials with the Los Angeles County Fire Department say they responded with a helicopter to transport the victim to a hospital, where he was listed in fair condition and being treated for non-life threatening wounds," explains ABC7.
The motive for the fight remains under investigation.
Saturday marked the opening day for the annual L.A. County Fair, which runs until October 2nd.
