Several People Stabbed During White Supremacy Rally in California

Between five and seven people were stabbed during a white supremacy protest and counter protest near the steps of the California state capitol on Sunday, authorities said.

Seven people were taken to the hospital, officials said, though the extent of their injuries was unknown, Officer George Granada of the California Highway Patrol told NBC News.

The original protest was organized by the Traditional Worker's Party, which describes itself as a political party that aims to "lead Americans toward a peaceful and prosperous future free from economic exploitation, federal tyranny, and anti-Christian degeneracy."

Last year, the group's founder, Matthew Heimbach, told the Southern Poverty Law Center, which tracks hate groups, that its mission was to "create a European-style nationalist movement."

A TWP flier for the Sunday protest read "You have reached the limits of our sympathy" beneath images of people holding signs that say "Making America Mexico again" and "Brown N' Proud."

"Defeat never, Victory forever," a Twitter post accompanying the flier read.

The counter protest was organized by the Sacramento chapter of the Anti-Fascist Network.

Authorities told the Associated Press that the TWP protest had a permit.

Granada, of the Highway Patrol, told NBC News that the groups clashed immediately after meeting, triggering a lock down at the capitol.

A pro-TWP live stream footage of the skirmish showed a rush of several police officers in riot gear. At one point, a person was struck in the head with appeared to be a baseball bat and flopped on the ground.
