3 stabbed, 16 injured during fireworks at Chicago's Navy Pier [View all]
July 5 (UPI) -- Three people were stabbed and at least 16 others were hospitalized with non-life threatening injuries following Fourth of July fireworks at Chicago's Navy Pier, police said.
The stabbing occurred Thursday following an "altercation" while the more than a dozen people hospitalized were injured in a stampede to the pier's exit, Chicago Police Department spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said in a statement.
