Buffalo Mayor Sean Ryan's office confirmed reports that Deputy Mayor Eugenio Russi was threatened at knifepoint Friday morning near Court Street.
He was unharmed, a spokesperson said.
Buffalo Police did not have any other details at this time, according to a Channel 4 report.
It was an eventful morning in the area, as police were also responding to a gunman call at the nearby SUNY Erie City Campus that prompted a lockdown.
No gunman or firearm was found at the scene, although an investigation remains ongoing.
