Rochester Police say they have a man in custody after he stabbed a woman numerous times in her upper body overnight.
  
Investigators are calling it a domestic violence incident. They say the victim was attacked at around midnight on Friday morning on East Main Street.

Police say they had a good idea of who the suspect was shortly after their investigation began. The suspect turned himself in to police headquarters a short time later.

Police would not release any information about the weapon used in the stabbing.

The woman was taken to Strong Memorial Hospital where she received treatment for her injuries. News10NBC is told the injuries were not life-threatening.

A plan to clear sediment buildup in the Port of Rochester -- that's what Congresswoman Louise Slaughter announced on Thursday morning when she visited Rochester.

Slaughter says the venture will be privately funded for the first time, after no federal dollars could be secured for the approximately $1 million process.

It has been three years since the port was last dredged, and the Army Corps of Engineers brought up a quarter of a million cubic yards of sediment. Since then, sediment has caused part of the port to be as shallow as 14-feet which could cause problems for large cargo ships, like cement ships traveling down the river.

The press conference was held at Essroc, one such company, today.

"We must must do everything we can to assure that harbors receive the money that they deperately need to keep our economy and businesses like Essroc strong for decades to come," Slaughter said at the press conference.

Seneca Park Zoo officials have announced the grand opening date of “A Step into Africa”, the Zoo’s new state of the art exhibit. A ribbon cutting ceremony will be held on Thursday May 17.

The project has been in the works for eight years.  The lions’ exhibit is the fhird and final phase of the project.  A baboon exhibit and elephant splash pool opened in 2008. The overlook at the elephant splash pool is named in memory of former News10NBC anchor Gabe Dalmath, who donated money for the project.

Three African lions, a male born in September 2010, and two females, one born in 2010 and other in January 2011 came to the Seneca Park Zoo from South Africa.  They have already moved into their new home, but won’t be seen by the public until the grand opening of the exhibit.

The Zoo also announced today its new “Open Late Tuesday” promotion. This summer beginning June 26 and running through August 28, the Zoo will have extended hours.
