CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (AP) — A stabbing suspect on the University
of Virginia campus was arrested Thursday, and one person was
taken to a hospital in critical condition, authorities said.
Police on the Charlottesville campus responded to a report of a
stabbing and sent out an emergency alert, saying a suspect was
seen and fled on foot. A short time later, police said a male
suspect was taken into custody and that a shelter-in-place had
been lifted. The Daily Progress reported the suspect was
arrested without incident.
One person was taken to UVa Health University Medical Center,
spokesperson Eric Swenson said in an email. University
spokesperson Bethanie Glover said the victim was in critical
condition as of Thursday night. Neither Swenson nor Glover
specified the victim's injuries.
Glover said the suspect was a middle-aged white male and that
both the suspect and victim had no known affiliation with the
university.
Charlottesville police are handling the investigation into the
"attack," which occurred within the city’s jurisdiction, Glover
said.
It marked the second shelter-in-place at the university this
week. On Tuesday, police searched for a suspect involved in a
traffic stop who then was believed to have fled the area.
