There were reportedly between 100 to 150 people in attendance at the party.

A 21-year-old man stabbed six people early Saturday at a California house party, lashing out after he bumped into someone and a fight erupted, authorities said.

Six people are recovering after being stabbed at a party in Pasadena overnight.

Police arrived at the scene around 3:10 a.m. this morning, and found the suspect in front of the home, according to CBS L.A.

Police had no motive for the stabbings. Police did not mention if Te had known the victims he allegedly stabbed, if he had been invited to the party, or if he was an uninvited guest at the house party. All of the victims were described by police as Asian men in their early 20’s. He says the others suffered less serious injuries. Two of the victims were in critical condition, and the rest had moderate to severe injuries, but all of them are expected to survive, police said.

“To have something happening in this neighborhood in general was very surprising, especially at that scale”, Ebersole said.
