Three U.S. tourists were stabbed in Puerto Rico early Monday morning after police said someone told them to stop filming in the renowned seaside community of La Perla. The incident follows a similar attack two years ago when a tourist from Delaware was killed and set on fire after being warned not to take pictures while buying drugs in La Perla.

According to police, the confrontation began when one of the tourists, who lives in South Carolina, began filming a mobile hamburger cart and was told to stop and leave the area. The tourists were then attacked and two of them remain hospitalized, including one who was stabbed six times.
