Stabbed where?

<p>UAlbany's Indian Quad</p></div> </div> <p>It's only Tuesday and we already have what looks like the clear winner for weirdest story of the week. </p> <p>According to UAlbany campus police, <a href="http://timesunion.com/AspStories/story.asp?storyID=711124">firefighters had to hoist a 330-pound construction worker off the roof of a campus building</a> today after he was stabbed by a co-worker. (CBS6 has <a href="http://link.brightcove.com/services/link/bcpid1137806146/bclid1143371293/bctid1725949742">video of the effort</a>.) </p> <p>The alleged stabber <a href="http://capitalnews9.com/content/top_stories/121853/worker-rescued-from-ny-college-roof-after-stabbing/Default.aspx">has been found</a>. He turned up at a hospital in Troy. Police aren't sure what prompted the incident.</p> <p>Maybe-funny-only-to-us line from that CBS6 story: "This is something Albany fire trains on regularly and it paid off this morning." <em>They train for removing 300-pound stabbing victims from the top of buildings?</em> </p> <p>That is some comprehensive training.</p> <!-- if there's a slideshow, it starts here --> <div class="entry-footer"> <div class="entry-footer-comments"><a href="http://alloveralbany.com/archive/2008/08/12/stabbed-where#comments" title="jump to the comments">2 comments</a></div> <div class="entry-footer-tags">tags: <a href="http://alloveralbany.com/mt/mt-ftsearch.fcgi?IncludeBlogs=1&tag=crime&limit=500">crime</a>, <a href="http://alloveralbany.com/mt/mt-ftsearch.fcgi?IncludeBlogs=1&tag=UAlbany&limit=500">UAlbany</a>, <a href="http://alloveralbany.com/mt/mt-ftsearch.fcgi?IncludeBlogs=1&tag=weird&limit=500">weird</a></div> </div> </div> <!-- entry container close --> <div class="main-content-adbox"> <div class="ad-square-wrapper"> <!-- google ad code --> <script type="text/javascript"><!-- google_ad_client = "pub-3650355899438303"; /* individual entry sub post square 300x250 */ google_ad_slot = "5549462516"; google_ad_width = 300; google_ad_height = 250; //--> </script> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"> </script> </div> </div> <!-- close adbox --> <div id="comments"> <h3>Comments</h3> <div class="comment" id="comment-2347"> <p>What I don't understand is how he got up there!
