One man was injured when a fight in the French Quarter ended with a stabbing Saturday night, New Orleans Police Department officials say.

The fight broke out while the victim was in a large crowd in the 1000 block of Toulouse Street about 9:30 p.m., police said. The man told officers he was first sprayed with tear gas and afterward realized he had also been cut.

The victim got himself to a local hospital and survived the stabbing. So far, no suspect information is available.

The stabbing happened on a busy day in the French Quarter, which was crowded for much of the day and night with those who attended Red Dress Run and Dirty Linen Night.
