At some point during the altercation, someone began using a knife. Police do not know who introduced the weapon, though.
Three men in their late 20s to early 30s were transported to the hospital with minor injuries, Schaff said.
He added that there is no certainty that the injuries were knife-related.
It's unclear how many people were at the event, or if any of them were possibly inebriated. It's also unknown if anyone was arrested or cited in connection to the incident.
