Porter swung a knife during a fight in the 1000 block of West Belmont Avenue about 11:25 p.m., Chicago police said. The four had been arguing before the confrontation became physical.

• A second woman, 35, suffered a stab wound to the buttocks and was in good condition.

The fight was one of several disturbances that broke out in Lake View East in the hours after the Pride Parade.

All four were taken to Illinois Masonic Medical Center, police said.
