The stabbing victims were transported to two different hospitals, and their conditions were not immediately available.
Officers from around the lower end of the county worked the scene near the entrances of the Levittown Walmart. Nearby, Levittown Parkway was blocked due to police cars and officers who milled about near the entrance of the fair, a multi-day tradition in the area.
One young man was seen being loaded into an ambulance from Bensalem that left the scene outside Walmart with lights blazing.

Doyle said there was a “near riot” moments after his department tried to take one suspect into custody. The incident led to an “officer assist” call going out across Bucks County.
