Syracuse, N.Y. – Four people were stabbed outside two separate strip clubs early Saturday morning in Syracuse, according to the Syracuse Police Department.

At 2:09 a.m. police received a report that there were shots fired outside the Alpine Gentleman’s Club on Butternut Street following the closure of the club, according to 911 dispatches. No one was shot during an altercation there, but a 28-year-old man was stabbed in the stomach, said Sgt. Matthew Malinowski, a police spokesman.


A witness reported that the man was injured and severely bleeding, according to 911 dispatches. The man is expected to survive, police said.

A witness who spoke to 911 dispatchers said there was a verbal alteration outside the club. Upon arrival, officers reported approximately 150 people on the street outside the club refusing to leave, according to dispatches.

Just after 4:00 a.m., police responded to St. Joseph’s Hospital Health Center and Upstate University Hospital to investigate three stabbings that occurred on the 1600 block of North Salina Street, police said. Officers believe the stabbings occurred outside The Bunny Club, a strip club at 1637 N. Salina St., Malinowski said.

A 32-year-old man was stabbed in the hand and leg, a 31-year-old man was stabbed in the shoulder and another 32-year-old man was stabbed in the chest. All three men are expected to survive, he said.

Police ask that if you have any information regarding any of these stabbings to call (315) 442-5222.
