According to a Los Angeles Times report, an unknown man walked up to Dr. Dre's table--where Dre was waiting to accept the Vibe Legend Award--and punched the rapper. Dre's bodyguards then swarmed the man. Video of the event shows several people involved in the melee near the stage.

A 26-year-old man reportedly was stabbed at some point during the incident. He was taken to a nearby hospital, where he reportedly was in stable condition.

The show was held up as police restored order at the event, which took place before a crowd of about 1,000 at the hangar at Southern California's Santa Monica Airport. There were no immediate arrests.

The ceremony resumed a short time later, at which time Vibe founder Quincy Jones [ tickets ] and rapper Snoop Dogg [ tickets ] presented the award to Dre without further incident.

"We are deeply saddened by the incident that occurred last night," Vibe president Kenard Gibbs said in a statement. "It is unfortunate that an event so many people worked very hard to create has been tainted by the actions of a few individuals. The Vibe Awards and Vibe magazine represent the best of urban culture and they will continue to do so. It is a testament to the true vision of the Vibe Awards that the magnificent talent and staff continued on to create a fantastic show."

The Vibe awards ceremony was taped to air Tuesday night (11/16) on UPN. The network plans to broadcast the show as scheduled. E! Online reported that the incident will be edited from the broadcast.
