A woman visiting Art Basel in Miami Beach on Friday was stabbed three times by another female visitor with an X-Acto knife, local police reported. The victim was taken to Jackson Memorial Hospital in Miami but her injuries are not life-threatening. Dealers in the Nova section of the fair, where the incident occurred, said they saw another woman taken away in handcuffs. “The attack was an isolated incident that was immediately secured… The extensive security provided by the Miami Beach Convention Center is supporting the investigation,” a spokesman for the fair said.
