MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. (AP) - Two people were wounded during a fight at a South Carolina mall Tuesday afternoon, authorities said.

Myrtle Beach Police Cpl. Tom Vest said police were called to the food court area of Coastal Grand Mall in Myrtle Beach Tuesday because of a reported fight, news outlets reported.

Vest said police found two people suffering from “severe lacerations,” but it’s unclear if the wounds are from a stabbing or a shooting.



One person is in custody in connection with the incident. Vest said the suspect’s name will be released once charges are filed.

Vest said police were searching for a small black four-door sedan that fled the scene.

Police said anyone with information should call the department.
