"All the cops started coming down John Street from Broadway, There was a lot commotion, they started yelling at us to get out of the way, and I guess somebody got stabbed with either a pliers or a wooden stick. It was pretty chaotic. Cops were pushing people out of the way, trying to secure the scene and there was a lot of blood, there was a big trail like cross different parts of John Street, student Mason Garrity said.
There are no arrests, and the investigation is ongoing.
