ENCINITAS (AP) -- Authorities say two men who were playing "Pokemon Go" fell off an ocean bluff in Southern California.

They were taken to a hospital with moderate injuries.
The wildly popular game involves chasing digital critters that pop up as you move about the real world. There have been reports of distracted players walking into trees, playing while driving, and even being robbed by crooks who lured players with digital goodies.
In Anaheim, police say one player was stabbed Wednesday by a group of men in a park.
His wounds aren't life-threatening.
