Multiple people were stabbed and beaten in a brutal clash between white nationalists and counter-protesters just outside the California capitol building in Sacramento on Sunday.

Ten people were taken to hospitals with injuries, two with “critical trauma stab wounds”, the fire department said, after what it called a “mass casualty incident”.

Chris Harvey, Sacramento fire department spokesman, said nine men and one woman, ranging from 19 to 58 years old, were treated for stab wounds, cuts, scrapes and bruises.

Sacramento police did not immediately respond to requests for details. Harvey said the main fight broke out when people carrying sticks rushed into the rally area, a park by the capitol building. California highway patrol officers eventually broke up the fight, he said.
