Man stabbed outside of Frida's Restaurant

A 26-year-old man was taken to the hospital early Sunday morning after being stabbed on the 100 block of State Street, just outside of Frida's Mexican Restaurant.

According to the police report, Madison police officers responded to a disturbance around 2:15. The victim approached the officers and told them he had been stabbed.

The officers saw the victim's stab wound and had him transported to the hospital, where he was reported to be in stable condition.

According to Ald. Mike Verveer, District 4, Frida's has operated as a nightclub on weekends for several years.

""Over the years there have been very few problems,"" he said. ""I hope this was an isolated incident.""

There are currently no suspects; an investigation is pending.
