An altercation over seating in Hall H has resulted in one Comic-Con attendee being stabbed over his left eye and another conference-goer arrested for the crime. The incident occurred after the Resident Evil: Afterlife panel and there was a delay before Universal’s Cowboys & Aliens/Paul presentation.
The violence broke out after an argument over saved seats; ultimately, one man stabbed the other with a pen. The perpetrator was promptly arrested and police began an investigation inside Hall H. The victim has been taken to a local hospital.
Panels were delayed temporarily as police began their investigation and the scene of the altercation was cleaned up. Police continued their questioning of witnesses as the Cowboys & Aliens/Paul presentation began.
