The stabbing reportedly took place by the ferris wheel at 6:25 p.m. The incident involved two Douglas County males, ages 15 and 16.
The victim was taken to the Essentia Health-Superior emergency room, where he was treated for a fairly deep stab wound to his shoulder that required stitches, according to the Superior police log. He was treated and released.
One person was taken into custody and referred to juvenile intake.
According to Superior police reports, one of the juveniles challenged the other via text message to a fight in the fairgrounds parking lot.
