DES MOINES, IOWA (AP) -- Des Moines police are adding extra officers to security duty outside the Iowa State Fair because of fights.
Officials say a roving group attacked several fairgoers outside the gates last Saturday.
Police also investigated two stabbings in the same area. The victims were not seriously injured and refused medical attention.
Police are adding five more officers this weekend to provide more security around the fairground's perimeter.
The Iowa State Patrol handles much of the law enforcement duties on the fairgrounds.
