Utica Police Asking For Help Solving Robbery And Stabbing

Utica, NY (WIBX) - Police say that an investigation into a robbery and stabbing is active and ongoing.

A man was walking home from the store when another man walked up to him demanding money.  After robbing his victim, the man then stabbed him in the stomach.

The incident took place on the 1500 block of Genesee Street in Utica on December 6, 2012 at 10:00pm.  Police say they have few leads in the case and are looking for the public's assistance.
