ROCHESTER, N.Y. – A man, 52, remains hospitalized in stable condition after he was stabbed near the corner of Cottage and Elba streets on Saturday afternoon.

Rochester Police say the victim was found lying in the middle of the street and neighbors were performing first aid when ambulance and fire crews arrived on the scene. When News10NBC crews got there, they saw RPD using a battering ram, a heavy beam, to access a house. Seven officers were entering a home with guns drawn.

Neighbors in the area say it’s surprising to see something like this happening in their neighborhood. Max Agry, a neighbor, says this kind of violence usually doesn’t happen in the area.

“It’s usually pretty good. I wouldn’t say it’s sleepy around here, but, you know, people just kind of stay inside. There’s not much else going on, you know?” Agry said.

Jerome Wyche, another neighbor, said she was also surprised by the stabbing.

“It’s been, you know, pretty much I don’t hear anything about it. Once in a while, you know, just up and down the streets off Jefferson Avenue. But not really, no,” Wyche said.

Rochester police are still searching for the suspect. The investigation is ongoing and anyone with information is encouraged to contact 911.
