CHICAGO (WLS) -- Two teenagers were stabbed in downtown Chicago as crowds of people took to the streets to celebrate Mexican Independence Day overnight.
Chicago police said a 15-year-old boy and a 19-year-old man suffered stab wounds after the two got into some sort of argument with a group of men.
The 15-year-old was cut in the torso. The 19-year-old was stabbed in the back, police said. They were both taken to a hospital in good condition
The exact circumstances leading up to what happened were not immediately known.
No one is in custody as police continue to investigate.
Meanwhile, it was another jam packed night in the Loop for Mexican Independence Day celebrations.
Road closures were back in place again Saturday night and there was more gridlocked traffic. The Central Business District was closed from Division to 18th Street and from DuSable Lake Shore Drive to Halsted.
Revelers didn't let the road closures stop them, however, as packs of people still celebrated the holiday on foot, blasting fireworks, brawling and giving the police a hard time.
