As deputies arrived, the partiers were quickly leaving and none would provide a statement about what happened, investigators said.

They said they obtained limited information about vehicles seen leaving the area with possible victims. One vehicle was stopped and deputies found a 27-year-old man who was being driven to Florida Hospital Flagler for a stab wound to his lower left back.

At the hospital, deputies found a second victim, a man with a stab wound under the chin. A third man was located in another vehicle being driven to the hospital for treatment of a stab wound to his lower back, deputies said. The third victim was transported by ambulance to Halifax Medical Center in Daytona Beach.

Investigators said the victims were hesitant to cooperate with deputies, other than to say that a large fight broke out at the center. Deputies said none of the injuries were considered life-threatening.

Anyone with information on the stabbings is asked to contact the Sheriff's Office at 386-313-4911.
