(Cbr) Three people were hurt Saturday in San Diego when a car drove through the annual ZombieWalk held in conjunction with Comic-Con International. A 64-year-old passersby was taken to the hospital with a possible broken arm, and the other two suffered only minor injuries. Accounts of the incident vary, but the San Diego Police Department says a deaf family with small children was stopped at Second and Island avenues as the procession of hundreds of participants in zombie makeup lumbered by their car. Officer David Stafford told U-t San Diego that after waiting several minutes, the 48-year-old driver started rolling slowly into the crowd because his children were frightened. According to police, several people surrounded the car and began hitting it, shattering the windshield. That’s when the father reportedly drove forward again, striking the 64-year-old woman. The crowd chased after the car down as the family drove toward a police officer.

Witnesses tried to intervene, but he threatened them with a gun and ran to the shopping plaza.

I’m sure the rush for seats is always a dangerous game, but seriously? (via 10News.com, a local San Diego TV station): A young man who stabbed another near the eye with a pen Saturday at the Comic-Con convention at the San Diego Convention Center was arrested on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon, police said. The stabbing occurred around 4:45 p.m. at the convention center at 111 W. Harbor Drive, a San Diego Fire-Rescue Department dispatcher said. The men were in Hall H at Comic-Con when they argued over one sitting too close to the other in the crowded room, said San Diego police Officer David Stafford. “Stabbed” might be a bit harsh: it turns out the injured party received only a minor cut. Still bad, though. This I can totally believe:...

Sadly, "stabbing in Hall H" is not the name of a new horror film; it actually happened tonight at Comic-Con. An argument over seats led to a man being stabbed in the eye with a pen. More after the jump. Conflicting reports have been coming out by way of Variety.com and USAToday.com (along with virtually every other news agency and blog on the internet). Initial reports stated that two men in their mid-20s got into a fight with one man stabbing the other in the eye with a pen. Later, Ktla news in Los Angeles spoke with police officer David Stafford, who said: "Turns out there was no stabbing. Two friends had an argument and one guy ended up going to the hospital with a scratch near his...
