Tension prevailed on the busy Magadi Road for some time when two groups, part of a local Dasara procession, clashed with each other over a trivial row on Wednesday.
Two persons sustained serious injuries while others escaped with minor injuries.
Two of the injured, identified as Chethan Shetty and Somashekhar, have been admitted to a private hospital.
A complaint and a counter complaint have been filed with the Magadi Road and the Vijaynagar police stations.
The police have taken up a case and are looking for the accused, while security was stepped up at sensitive areas to monitor law and order.
