A sophomore in The College of Arts and Sciences was sent to the emergency room at Crouse University Hospital Sunday at approximately 1 a.m. after he was hit in the face on his way to a party at 733 Ackerman Ave. The sophomore was walking with a few friends when he was stopped by a group of eight to 10 black males. The groups exchanged words, and then the sophomore was hit, according to a Syracuse Police Department report.
Another male and friend of the victim, who does not attend Syracuse University, was also punched in the face twice and then kicked several times. After the altercation, the group of black males went into a car and drove away. The sophomore was treated with stitches for a large laceration on the side of his face where he was hit, according to the report.
*Bullet*Twenty to 30 people were fighting in the street outside of Trexx Nightclub when police arrived at approximately 3 a.m on Saturday. The police broke up the fight and found a Syracuse resident and patron of the nightclub with four stab wounds in his back and a bloody nose. When police questioned the victim about what happened, he said he thought he was punched and stepped on by patrons from the club.
According to the police report, there were several Syracuse University male basketball players in the club who were being harassed by other patrons. The victim said in the report he helped the players leave the club and escorted them to their car on the corner of Herald Place and Clinton Street. He said to the police he didn't know who the basketball players were, but he thought a fight might break out if they stayed there.
The patrons who were harassing the players attacked the victim after he had helped the basketball players leave. He was rushed to Upstate Medical Center Emergency Room, according to the report.
