Man reportedly cut in bar fight

Niagara County Sheriff’s deputies were called to Party Time Cafe on Lockport Road about 3 a.m. Sunday for a bar fight involving several people.

When deputies arrived, witnesses said a suspect had driven away east on Lockport Road.

A 25-year-old Wyoming Avenue man was inside the bar with a laceration on his head.

The man told deputies two women had been fighting inside the bar, and someone had accused him of hitting someone’s wife, the report said.

The man said an unknown person then hit him in the head, causing a deep, large cut. He was evaluated by an ambulance crew but did not want to be transported to the hospital, the report said.

He was taken to the hospital by a friend for stitches.

No one at the bar could identify the suspect, the report said.
