SALEM, Mass. -- Several young people were in court in Salem early Friday, arraigned on charges stemming from a brawl that broke out at Salem State College that left two people hospitalized with stab wounds.

NewsCenter 5's Pam Cross reported that seven people were arrested after the fight erupted at the on-campus dance, and two of them were Salem State students.

They were brought into court to face disorderly conduct and resisting arrest charges, among other offenses. One faced the judge while wearing a hospital gown. Another remained hospitalized with a stab wound to the stomach. He was expected to recover.

The fight began during the dance and spilled out into the parking lot where some of the combatants fought with police.

"We do know that during the evening that the metal detectors did pick up at least two knives and we confiscated those knives before they went into the actual dance themselves," Police Chief William Anglin said.

All the suspects were expected to be released on bail. Police are still investigating the incident.
