A 23-year-old San Francisco woman attending a Laytonville concert stabbed herself in the abdomen after taking a hallucinogenic drug, the Mendocino County sheriff's authorities reported Monday.

Witnesses at the Earth Dance Festival said the woman began acting strangely after taking a dose of LSD, said Sheriff's Lt. Rusty Noe. Before anyone could restrain her, she stabbed herself in the abdomen with a large knife, he said.

The woman was flown to Santa Rosa Memorial Hospital for treatment. Her condition on Monday was not known, Noe said. The sheriff's office did not release the woman's name because the incident is considered an attempted suicide, he said.
