Police in Portland, Oregon are investigating a stabbing incident at an outdoor rave where four teenage males were injured, with authorities detaining one victim and seeking witnesses to the event.
The incident occurred at a large gathering along the Eastbank Esplanade, where three adult men in their teens and one boy in his teens were stabbed. All four people were conscious and talking at the scene, according to authorities. Two were taken to the hospital with serious injuries and the other two were taken to the hospital for minor injuries.
