A crowd of several hundred people, many holding American flags and signs calling for "medical freedom," had descended on City Hall around 2 p.m. for the planned rally. A fight erupted shortly after 2:30 p.m., as [a few dozen counterprotesters] in all black and anti-vaccine demonstrators traded punches and threw things. [In addition to a man who was stabbed], a reporter said he was assaulted.
...
It was not immediately clear how the fight started, but each side quickly blamed the other. While the [LA Police Department's] statement referred to "Antifa," the counterprotesters appeared to be a mixture of people who have shown up to oppose anti-vaccine and anti-mask rallies recently.
...
The demonstrators had billed the rally as a stand against rules requiring Covid-19 vaccinations, so-called vaccine passports, and mask-wearing. Earlier this week, the City Council voted to direct city attorneys to draft a law that would require people to have at least one dose of a vaccine to visit indoor restaurants, bars, gyms, shops and movie theaters.
