Man Injured in Incident Early Saturday Morning

A man was left injured after an incident early Saturday morning outside an apartment building on 101st Street and Riverside Drive.

Witnesses to the incident, which happened shortly before 1:00 a.m., did not know the cause of it, though a pool of blood was visible on the sidewalk outside the building. Columbia University Public Safety officials said they had not heard of anything happening, and the New York City Police Department did not have a report filed on the incident or any knowledge of it.

Kavitha Davidson, BC ‘09 and Spectator sports editor, said both police officers and an ambulance were called, though by about 1:30 a.m. the scene was cleared and the police officers had left. The scene was visible from the window of a nearby apartment building. Witnesses said it took approximately 20 minutes for the injured man to be taken into the ambulance. It was unclear why he was bleeding.

Davidson said it appeared that the ambulance was taking the man to Mount Sinai hospital.
