New Year's night was a hectic one for the Auburn Police Department, with the department responding to as many incidents overnight as it normally would respond to within a 24-hour period.
The incidents included a stabbing at Spirits Tavern at 20 State St. and an assault near Spring and Barber streets.
Victims of the two incidents needed medical treatment at Auburn Memorial Hospital.
The APD reported 45 incidents between 4 p.m. Sunday and 7 a.m. Monday.
On average, it handles 50 incidents in a 24-hour period.
Officers responded to multiple fights, domestic incidents, vandalism complaints, traffic accidents and 911 calls.
The APD was notified around 2:40 a.m. Monday that a stabbing victim had come to Auburn Memorial Hospital's emergency room for treatment. The 28-year-old man had a five-inch laceration in his lower abdomen from a fight between 2 to 2:30 a.m. at Spirits, police said. The man required several sutures and medical staples to close the wound caused by a sharp object. He was treated and released.
Police said a tentative suspect was identified, but the investigation is continuing.
Several men assaulted a victim around 2:45 a.m. near Spring and Barber streets, police reported. Some of the assailants were allegedly armed with sticks, but police said it wasn't clear if the sticks were used in the assault. The victim suffered nonlife-threatening head injuries and was treated Auburn Memorial Hospital.
The investigation was continuing into this incident as well.
Anyone with information about any of these incidents is asked to call the APD at 253-3231.
Also, the New York State Police reported that it responded to several domestic incidents during the New Year's holiday.
The APD, NYSP and the Cayuga County Sheriff's Office said that New Year's Day itself was quiet.
