A visiting student from Rochester Institute of Technology slipped and fell on the sidewalk in front of the Starbucks Coffee Co. at 177 Marshall Street. on Saturday at 5:56 p.m. The student hit her head and blood was seen in the snow where she fell, according to a report from the Syracuse Police Department. The report said she appeared to be visibly drunk, as were the other people with her, who were said to be extremely intoxicated and less than cooperative. She was transported by ambulance to Crouse Hospital where she received care. The emergency medical technicians at the scene of the incident said she appeared to have a possible concussion and a small laceration on her head.
At 6:33 p.m. on Saturday, two men, one with the same name as the victim, were arrested for trespassing at Crouse Hospital appearing to be visibly intoxicated. The two men, one a student at Syracuse University, the other a student at RIT, came to the hospital to visit a patient who had been admitted earlier. They were advised not to return to the hospital by security and police after they were said to have caused a disturbance. The two were seen in the lobby pushing and yelling at each other and could not remember what the staff had told them regarding the patient they wanted to visit. A security agent at the hospital handcuffed the two men when they refused to leave and began to swear and yell.
