By the time police arrived, most of the group had left but officers found two young males who had been stabbed. They were both taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
It appears the two were fighting each other, according to Mounties, but neither are cooperating with police at this time.
Police also found a knife, pepper spray and a baton at the scene of the fight.
