KATY, Texas (KTRK) -- At least six people were injured and two of the injured have been detained following a stabbing in the Katy area.

The stabbing happened Monday shortly after 3 p.m. in the 1800 block of Katyland Drive. Authorities said this appeared to be a school fight involving Katy ISD students, but it's unclear what school the students are from.

At the scene, authorities said six people, most of them juveniles, were injured. At least one 18-year-old was also involved.

Two of the victims were taken to the hospital by Life Flight. The rest of the injured, two of which are the suspects, were taken to the hospital by ambulance.

As the investigation continues into what led to the brawl, authorities said 11 to 18 people were involved. They add that some of those involved had bats, and a knife was also recovered at the scene.
