Multiple fights broke out Saturday evening at Knott’s Berry Farm in Buena Park, causing the park to close early for the night, officials said.
Police responded around 7:30 p.m. to the park, where multiple fights were occurring, Buena Park Police Department Sgt. Chad Weaver said.
There were reports from amusement park goers that shots were heard, but police did not find evidence of a shooting, Weaver said.
Video footage from the park Saturday showed a chaotic and panicked scene as people rushed to safety. Some people hid in restaurants or park shops fearing a shooting.

Multiple victims were assaulted, but the exact number could not be confirmed as some people had left the park before receiving treatment or speaking with police. The injuries were not life threatening, Weaver said around 8:45 p.m.
Whether the fights were in the same location at the park or in separate areas was under investigation.
