Staff report

GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Gainesville Police Department is investigating a stabbing at a downtown bar last night.

At about 11:20 p.m. on August 31, the victim made contact with an officer outside Lit at Downtown Nightclub (211 W. University Avenue) after being stabbed inside the nightclub. According to a GPD spokesman, the victim was stabbed nine times and was transported to a local hospital with life-threatening injuries.

The incident is still under investigation, and officers do not currently have a description of the suspect.

    • I don’t care what they vote about knife control, I am an disabled woman who has a big one and a bigger one and I will always be in reach of my knives for my safety. That’s the way it is , but I wouldn’t have to if the people of this world were not so violent and I will never use one unless I have to for my own safety. They’re in full view at all times

  • It’s said that you can judge a society by its prisoners…. and it’s extremely transparent that society in general has failed when we have the type of people and behavior that is currently inhabiting within not just Gainesville…. but the whole of the USA in general…… something to think 🤔 about the future generations to come.

    • The Democrat Party has been nothing but racist, since the Civil War. Today they hide behind accusations of racism, but have continually put down others by pretending to do good, but in reality it is nothing but telling them they aren’t good enough to succeed without affirmative action or the current favorite, DEI.

      • Hmmm… we’re racist, and yet our candidate is a black woman.
        Yes that makes perfect sense. And yet, Repugnicans candidate is a felon,sex offender, misogynistic lying anti women hater..With a Jim Jones complex.

  • I was doing uber last night and was around there, the nightclub has video camera’s, this suspect thinks he is getting away with it, but they will bring him in, stupid thing to do, but this is what you get with stupid people..

    • Crazy how you have such limited information and automatically assume the victim was the initial aggressor. What if deserved to get stabbed because he was a threat to others?

      • He got stabbed 9 times in the back while he was leaving the club. I was there while he was leaving and none of the i juries were to his frontside. All them were in his back and flank. It wasn’t self defence it was am attempted murder

      • You have to understand the mentality of the majority of respondents on here, not to mention educational levels and IQ. Aka Trump-ets.

    • We’ve seen their voting habits; they’re incapable of learning much of anything.

        • It’s a Latin bar? I remember when it was Flashbacks Lounge, The Hardback Cafe, and some hookah lounge after that. If it’s mostly Latin (Hispanic) people, they probably lean conservative as a group, especially nowadays. I would like to check out the bar and see what they’ve done with the space.

        • Miss the memo? “District 1.” Teaching moment…are you even aware of the people they continue to elect to “represent” their district?

  • Does the city have a Nuisance Abatement Board ? Our safety & quality of life are greatly threatened by these attractive nuisances for criminal activity.

  • Prayers 4the human race.
    Bad human
    Violence is not age appropriate.
    Old” times”
    want traditional
    Violence serves no one.
    Acting out like this is awful people are sick.🤢🤮

    There goes
    more tourist dollars
    💸 when word
    gets flowing
    like a boat 🚢 on water.

    Sad Gainesville
    There are better places
    To live n vacation ✨️ 💕

    Hope u all catch the hand who did this!!!!!!!!

  • Almost all the violence in Gainesville that happens at bars downtown happens at the places owned by the same guy.
