Nine injured in Splash House dispute at Palm Springs Air Museum

PALM SPRINGS, Calif. (KESQ) - The Palm Springs Police Department says nine people were injured after bottles were thrown into the crowd during a Splash House event at the Palm Springs Air Museum in the early hours Sunday morning.

At about 1:37 a.m. Sunday morning, officers working at the event were alerted to a reported assault. Additional officers responded and secured the area while the incident was investigated.

Their investigation determined that a dispute occurred, and ultimately escalated, with bottles being thrown into the crowd that injured a total of nine partygoers who were not involved in the initial dispute.

Two were treated at the scene, while seven others were transported to a local hospital for treatment of minor injuries, some sustained from broken glass.

The incident occurred during Saturday night's "After Hours at the Air Museum" event, which featured performances by The Chainsmokers and Ship Wrek.
