New information is out about five arrests that were made at the South Florida Fair in West Palm Beach on Saturday night.

Several fights occurred throughout the midway from 9 p.m. until the fair's closing and the Sheriff's Office says pepper balls were fired into the "large chaotic crowd" of about 200 people that were "hostile and unruly."

Four minors face several charges, including one who is charged with battery on a law enforcement officer. A man was also arrested.

Two people went to Wellington Regional Medical Center, claiming to have been stabbed but refusing to cooperate with detectives.

The fair has a policy in place this year that anyone under 18 must have a parent or guardian with them on Friday and Saturday nights.

The fair runs through next weekend, with the final night being Sunday, January 28th.
