• The Los Angeles Police Department tweeted that it was monitoring the protest at the south lawn of the City Hall.
• "We are on scene to maintain order after a fight broke out. We are aware of 1 male that was stabbed & is being treated by LAFD," the LAPD said, in reference to the Los Angeles Fire Department. "No arrests have been made but the investigation is ongoing."
• KPCC radio reporter Frank Stolze was seen being kicked and screamed at by anti-mask protesters while trying to do his job, the L.A. Times notes.
• "In the melee, counterprotesters could be seen spraying mace while members of the anti-vaccine rally screamed death threats," the L.A. Times reports. "One older man screamed 'unmask them all' and clawed at a woman’s face."
• The LAPD said the stabbed man was in serious condition after being transported to a nearby hospital, according to AP.

What they're saying: Stolze tweeted: "I was shoved, kicked and my eyeglasses were ripped off of my face by a group of guys at a protest — outside City Hall during an anti-vax Recall ⁦@GavinNewsom⁩ Pro Trump rally."

• "I'm mad but fine," added Stolze, who reported the matter to police.
• Stolze quoted L.A. City Council President Nury Martinez as saying of the protesters: "These aren't 'patriots.' Not wearing a mask and being anti-vax isn't patriotism — it's stupidity. We have to be able to have differences of opinions without resorting to violence."
