A fast-food restaurant on Binghamton's East Side was closed for hours after a man was stabbed near the business.

Emergency crews were sent to the Burger King at 464 Court Street around 6:10 a.m. Tuesday after a possible stabbing was reported.

The Burger King is located across the street from Cotton Mouth Dispensary, a licensed cannabis retailer that opened in January 2025.

The Burger King was closed for several hours because of the police activity. A manager said the restaurant opened at 11 a.m. Tuesday.
