LOS ANGELES, CA — As the weekend wraps up, we've rounded up all the stories you may have missed on Saturday and Sunday to prepare you for Monday. But before we jump into the Golden State's top stories, Southland residents should know that several altercations erupted between dueling protesters in Los Angeles on Saturday. One man was hospitalized after he was stabbed and two reporters said they were attacked. The two groups — one defending vaccine mandates and the other arguing that they infringe on personal freedom — brawled in front of City Hall until police declared an unlawful assembly later in the afternoon. The violence comes as restrictions return to the Golden State amid a summertime surge in delta variant cases.
