By Howard B. Owens

Batavia police are responding to Jackson Street where a person is waiting who claims to have been stabbed at about 9 a.m. at the skate park behind the Falleti Ice Arena on Evans Street.

Mercy EMS is responding, too.

UPDATE 10:45 a.m.: The alleged victim had only three small marks on his back and was not cut, according to police. "We don't know what it was, but it definately wasn't a knife," said Officer Eric Hill. The alleged victim reportedly told a friend of a friend that he was stabbed and that is the person who called emergency dispatch. Police searched the area behind the ice arena (that's Officer Dan Coffey in the picture above) but found no corroborating evidence.
