Thursday night was no celebration for Ithaca Police, who responded to multiple reports of violence throughout the city.

At around 12:06 a.m. Friday, Ithaca Police responded to a report of a 25-year-old Ithaca man who was severely beaten with a baseball bat in the city.

Police say the man was assaulted on Chestnut Street by at least three people who “struck him with a baseball bat multiple times, causing injuries to his head, neck and torso,” according to Lt. Scott Garin with the Ithaca Police Department.

The victim was described to be “on life support” after the attack. He was transported to Cayuga Medical Center and is now reported to be in stable condition.

At around 12:15 a.m. that same night, police were called to the Holiday Inn on Cayuga Street to respond to a physical dispute.

Police arrested Amy Armagost of Buffalo and charged her with criminal contempt for violating an order of protection.

Police say she also kicked the windows of an Ithaca Police patrol vehicle. Armagost is being held by Ithaca Police pending arraignment.

Shots fired on Chestnut Street

Later that night, just after 1:30 a.m., Ithaca Police got a report of shots fired in the 600 block of Chestnut Street.

Police say two people were driving when a person shot at them as they passed. The shooter then got into a car and chased after them, continuing to fire the weapon as they drove westbound through the city.

Attempting to escape gunfire, they crashed their car on the 700 block of Elm Street Extension, at which point the suspect fled the scene.

Officers were unable to recover evidence of the crime and the car itself.

“Descriptions of the suspect and their vehicle are being withheld pending further investigation,” Garin said.

Ithaca Police ask anyone with information about any of these incidents to contact the department at 272-9973.
