A Syracuse police detective looks for clues in a stabbing that happened this morning in the cut-through between Seymour and Shonnard streets.Syracuse, NY -- A Syracuse man was found stabbed in the 500 block of Seymour Street this morning, Syracuse police said.
Maurice Watkins, 33, was discovered unconscious and bleeding about 10:30 a.m. in a empty lot next to a home undergoing remodeling, Deputy Police Chief David Barrette said at the scene.

Watkins was taken away by ambulance to Upstate University Hospital, where he underwent emergency surgery, Connellan said. He was in serious condition Wednesday afternoon.
Police down the 500 block of Seymour Street into the afternoon while they continue their investigation, Barrette said.
