Shoppers in downtown Santa Barbara that witnessed a chase and conflict between two men had many questions Tuesday.

Some thought it was a bloody stabbing in the 900 block that went into a walkway towards the public restrooms.  A red substance was on the ground. 

The incident, in part, was caught with a cell phone camera.   What happened before the conflict was not taped or sent to NewsChannel 3.

Santa Barbara Police say this stemmed from a shoplifting at Saks Fifth Avenue Off 5th. A store asset protection employee attempted to detain the suspect several times over a city block.
