LOS ANGELES -- A man is accused of stabbing five people outside Dodger Stadium in what police said was a dispute about the sale of counterfeit T-shirts following a game between the Dodgers and St. Louis Cardinals.

 

The fight broke out Sunday after private security guards hired to crack down on vendors selling unlicensed Dodgers merchandise approached a group of vendors, police Lt. Ruben Delatorre said.

 

One of about 15 vendors began "slashing at people" with a knife as fans left the stadium, Delatorre said. The unidentified man fled in a black vehicle. Police were investigating.

 

Dodgers spokesman Josh Rawitch said it was an "unfortunate incident."

 

One of the three guards was stabbed in the shoulder and another guard was stabbed in the stomach, police said. Two vendors also were stabbed, one in the stomach and the other in the back, puncturing a lung, Delatorre said.

 

The four injured men were taken to a hospital and were in stable condition. Another vendor was stabbed in the hand but was not hospitalized.

 

The guards, who were not in uniform, did not carry weapons, Officer Jason Lee said.

 

Three vendors were arrested on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon and each held on $35,000 bail, Lee said.

 

The guards were hired by SportService, a division of Delaware North Companies, which has a contract to sell official Dodger merchandise at the park.

Great another thing for Jeremy Jacobs to worry about instead of the Bruins.
