Man stabbed at ‘large party’ on Euclid Avenue early Sunday morning

Syracuse University students were warned to stay away from a block of Euclid Avenue near campus early Sunday morning after a “non-university affiliate” was stabbed at a large party there, police said.

At about 7 a.m., a Syracuse Police Department spokesman in a press release said officers first responded to the State University of New York Upstate Medical University in regard to the stabbing call.

A 20-year-old man was there suffering from wounds to his lip, left shoulder and “lower back area,” police said. The man’s injuries did not appear life threatening. While at the hospital, the man told officers he was at a large party and got into a fight with a group of men at 710 Euclid Ave., police said.

“The victim stated that he did not know who any of the males were, and was unable to provide any suspect descriptions, due to it being dark inside the house,” said SPD Sgt. Richard Helterline. There was no suspect information as of about 7 a.m., police said.

A first Department of Public Safety notice was sent to the campus community at about 4 a.m. Sunday alerting students to an “assault.” A second notice was sent just before 6 a.m.

Onondaga County property records show that 710 Euclid Ave. is owned by The Housing Associates, LLC. The property was bought by the company for about $150,000 in early 2012.

Officers who responded to the house Sunday morning found evidence of the stabbing, but “were not provided any additional suspect information,” Helterline said.

The DPS alerts sent Sunday morning were the first sent by SU since a string of police alerts were issued to the campus community in late January after multiple robberies were reported near the university.
