A stabbing at an exhibition in Miami was mistakenly thought to be a part of the performance art presentation by some of the patrons. According to Miami Herald, the incident took place in the Art Basel Miami Beach, US, on Friday, December 4, when two female patrons started fighting, which resulted into one woman being stabbed.

However visitors of the show were not surprised at first by the scuffle, believing that it was only part of the art show. The patrons were shocked when they realized exactly what happened. Fortunately, the injuries were not life-threatening.

As a result of the incident, Police and Art Basel officials announced yesterday that they had boosted security in and around the convention center.
