Details

Medical staff at a local clinic contacted the MPD Saturday afternoon after a 35-year old man showed up for treatment of a stab wound to the rib cage. The victim told an officer that he had gotten very drunk earlier that morning. He exited a bar into a large crowd that was hanging out in the 600 block of University Ave. He remembers there being some type of disturbance just before someone yelled police were on their way. He said everyone started to run, so he did too. He felt someone bump him, but did not know he had been injured until he got to a parking ramp. Not believing the wound was serious, he went to bed. He showed his wife the injury the next day, and she took him to see a doctor.
