A man was stabbed during Syracuse's annual Orange Madness Celebration. It was last stated that the victim was in stable condition at Upstate University Hospital. Orange Madness is an event that is used to celebrate the start of the basketball season in which 15,000 people were in attendance. The event was brought to an end early after several fights occured. None of the fights and stabbing are believd to involve Syracuse students according to the Syracuse police Sgt. Tom Connellan.
"We were saddened to learn of the incident at th Dome last night. There is no place and no tolerance for anything like this and future Orange Madnes events will be designed to prevent incidents such as this. We are proud of the terrific partnership among Syracuse City Police, SU Department of Public Safety, and Carrier Dome security staff, and we are confident that our work will continue to maintain a safe and secure environment for our patrons who come to the Dome to enjoy the hard work and efforts of our student-athletes." -Syracuse Chancellor Nancy Cantor and Athletic Director Darryl Goss
