Three people were stabbed, one of them critically, and 13 others were arrested in California on Saturday when a Ku Klux Klan rally erupted into clashes with counter-protesters, witnesses and police said.
Around midday, half a dozen members of the white hate group arrived at the protest site in Anaheim where they were "swarmed" by protesters, who attacked them with at least one wooden plank, witness Brian Levin told AFP.
"Preliminarily, it appears six KKK people arrived and were immediately attacked by counter-protesters, which led to a counter-protester being stabbed," local police spokesman Sergeant Daron Wyatt said.
