Authorities are searching for a teen accused of stabbing a man at the San Diego County Fair.
The stabbing happened shortly before 11 p.m. on July 4 near the swing ride by the west gate when a 22-year-old man was walking with his friend toward the exit, San Diego County Sheriff's officials said.
The victim had a fight with a teen, authorities said, and at some point during the fight, the victim was stabbed in his upper body.
The victim survived his injuries, authorities said.
The suspect and victim do not know each other. No motive was provided.
