SM AIRPORT — A man is listed in stable condition after he was stabbed at the Vibe Awards Monday night.

At 7:23 p.m., Santa Monica Police were called to the Barker Hangar, where the awards ceremony honoring urban music was being held. Details of what occurred were unclear late Monday night, but authorities are looking for a suspect who is described as a black male wearing a white T-shirt.

The victim was apparently stabbed among an estimated crowd of 1,000 people. He was taken to a local hospital.

The stabbing occurred while Dr. Dre was accepting a lifetime achievement award presented by Quincy Jones and Snoop Dogg, according to a source with the show’s production crew. The show continued, despite that the crowd was shaken.

Police quickly secured the area, and officers from Culver City, LA County Sheriff’s Department and Beverly Hills also responded.
