Stabbing At Comic Con – Fight Due to Seat

There was a stabbing incident at Comic Con today, July 24th. The event was held at the San Diego Convention Center’s 6,500-seat Hall H. A Comic-Con attendee stabbed another in the face with a pen at the conference on Saturday. The dispute was allegedly over the victim’s attempt to save a seat for a friend.

The man reportedly stated he was defending himself and that he was “sorry it happened.” The victim, who was stabbed near the eye, was taken away by medics on a stretcher.

Update:

A report of two people being stabbed Saturday near the Comic-Con convention at the San Diego Convention Center turned out to be inaccurate, police said.

Two friends got into a scrape and one suffered “a scratch” near an eye, but no one was stabbed and it was unknown whether the fight was related to the convention, said San Diego police Officer David Stafford.
