The Huntington Beach Police Department confirmed that two victims had succumbed to their injuries at the scene and that three other individuals had been transported to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
The incident remains under investigation. On Friday morning, Huntington Beach police reported taking one person into custody.
Thursday's stabbing was not the only instance of Fourth of July celebrations being marred by violence.
In New York City, three people were killed, and several others were injured when a speeding pickup truck ran through an intersection and plowed into a crowd at Corlears Hook Park in Manhattan's Lower East Side neighborhood.
The driver has been identified and has been taken into custody, police say.
