(ABC 6 News) – The investigation into a stabbing report Tuesday continues — but Rochester police are skeptical, as of Wednesday morning.

“Officers never did locate evidence to support his claims,” communications coordinator Amanda Grayson said May 1. “In fact, they located evidence that contradicted his claims.”

The man who told police he had been stabbed and robbed on the morning of April 30 did not have life-threatening injuries, Grayson added.

Rochester police refused to comment on the ongoing investigation further.

(ABC 6 News) – Rochester police communications coordinator Amanda Grayson confirmed that police responded to a reported stabbing and robbery near the Douglas trail Tuesday morning.

Grayson said a 38-year-old Rochester man told police he was on the Douglas Trail north of 41st Street NW around 11 a.m., when someone stabbed him, took his belongings, and fled on foot.

The man was taken to the hospital with a wound, Grayson said.

“Officers are working to determine what happened and are looking for evidence to support the man’s claims,” Grayson said.

ABC 6 News reporter Alex Cotter confirmed that a Mayo Clinic Ambulance responded to Valleyhigh Flats on Kenosha Drive Northwest, and RPD officers were seen with Olmsted County deputies on the Douglas Trail nearby.
