Saturday, two Comic-Con attendees got into a fight over seating and one stabbed the other near the eye; both men were in their 20s, one was taken to the hospital and the other was arrested. The Comic-Con conference began Thursday and ends Sunday in San Diego at the Convention Center.
Local police said that the two were in an argument over how close they were to each other when one of the men attempted to stab the other in the eye with a pen. The attacker was charged with assault with a deadly weapon, and was taken from the conference in handcuffs.
The argument occurred in a room that was crowded with people waiting for actor Seth Rogen to speak on the topic of science-fiction comedy “Paul.” The talk was delayed for about a half hour while the police sorted out of the argument, and movie trailers were shown to keep the crowd entertained.
"Well, there is a crowd issue. It's gotten really crowded. And if anything, an incident like this points to the need for more space," convention-goer Zennie Abraham told CNN Sunday morning.
"Should Comic-Con be in San Diego? I think so, but San Diego's got to make more space for it. It's become too big and I didn't think anything like this could happen because it's a chill event but it did happen."
