Two men were stabbed Sunday while watching a horror movie at a California movie theater.
The men were injured around 7:30 p.m. at the AMC Fullerton Town 20 theater in Fullerton, Calif., while watching the thriller "The Signal," MyFOXLA.com reports.
Police said the individuals were sitting in different parts of the theater when they were attacked by an unknown assailant, the station reports.
"He started stabbing at the theater seat and then he stabbed the victim," Fullerton Police Lt. Tom Basham said. "As he fled, he stabbed another victim sitting near the exit."
Police were called to the theater after someone found a bag of what appeared to be illegal substances, MyFOXLA.com reports. When officers arrived, moviegoers — including the bloody stabbing victims — were running out of the theater.
Authorities believe the assailant was a white male, who bought a ticket to the theater but was later asked to leave.
"He somehow made his way back into the theater," Basham told MyFOXLA.com.
Looks like AMC is going to have to post "Knife Buster" signs in addition to their various "No Guns" signage.
Seems to me that a company bent on keeping weapons off of their premises, (at least here in TX), would post similar signs in all states, not just in a select few...
