A teenage boy was stabbed and left in critical condition during an anti-Trump protest outside Los Angeles City Hall on Friday afternoon. The 17-year-old was among a large group of people in Downtown LA protesting against President Donald Trump ’s immigration and deportation laws. The protest collapsed into chaos and violence just after 1:30 p.m. when multiple fights broke out, the Los Angeles Police Department said.
Police responded to the area of 200 North Spring Street after getting calls for the stabbing. The unidentified teen was in the middle of a large crowd in the park across the street from city hall, with his shirt stripped off and covered with blood. A protester named Will said, “I came to the protest, and there was a guy that came up who wasn’t even a part of the protest, and just shanked a dude.” As the teen was on the ground, protesters continued to wave around multiple, non-American flags, including the Mexican and Argentinian flags. Another melee occurred before the stabbing, where several protesters exchanged punches in the middle of the street before others broke them apart, feet away from city hall. Paramedics rushed the teen to a local hospital in critical condition. Officials did not announce any arrests or charges in the violent stabbing. Before the stabbing, another crowd got into a melee where several protesters exchanged punches in the middle of the street before others broke them apart, feet away from city hall. The violent demonstration marked the sixth day protesters took to the streets around the liberal city to protest Trump’s orders to strengthen immigration policy in the country including high schools students that walked out of class to join the rallies. Officials dispersed the crowd around 1:50 p.m. with streets around the area blocked off for the investigation. Protest organizers told the rally-goers to leave and go home so they can “regroup” and continue the protest a later day
