Portland, Jul 21: A late-night rave turned violent in Portland, Oregon, after four teenagers were stabbed during a massive “pop-up” party on the Eastbank Esplanade in the early hours of Saturday.

Portland police responded to the scene at around 3:19 am following reports of a stabbing. Upon arrival, they found hundreds gathered along the popular riverside recreational path and multiple fights breaking out among attendees.

Four teenagers were hospitalized with stab wounds. While two sustained serious injuries, the other two were treated for less severe wounds requiring stitches or bandaging.

Among the injured was a 19-year-old man from Hillsboro, who was later identified as the suspect. He was taken into custody after being discharged from the hospital and booked on three counts of felony assault and three weapons charges.

Police said investigations are ongoing, and the motive behind the brawl remains unclear.
