ROCHESTER - Rochester Police are investigating a possible assault that involved a firearm at Radloff's Cigar Shop and On the Rox lounge late Friday night.

According to Rochester Police Capt. Todd Pinkham, the incident "stemmed from an incident inside the bar."

"There was some type of physical altercation that took place that resulted in one of the males that was hit leaving and stating he was going to get a firearm and return," Pinkham said on Monday.

He said officers were able to locate the male at a separate location, an apartment, and were able to recover the firearm and defuse the situation."

The investigation continues, and Pinkham said an arrest could be forthcoming.
