Six Stabbed During White Supremacy Rally in California

Six people were stabbed during a white supremacy protest and counter protest in California on Sunday, authorities said.

Five of the six were taken to the hospital, officials said.

Officer Matt McPhail with the Sacramento Police Department said none of the injuries are believed to be life-threatening.

The original rally was organized by the Traditional Worker's Party, a group which the the Southern Poverty Law Center describes as the political wing of the "virulently racist and anti-Semitic" Traditionalist Youth Network.

The victims were all present while a protest took place, but McPhail said it was still unclear whether and how they were involved.

The Traditionalist Workers Party had scheduled and received a permit to protest at noon Sunday in front of the California Capitol. McPhail says a group of counter-protesters showed up to demonstrate against them.
