CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. — A man is in police custody after a stabbing near the University of Virginia's campus on Thursday evening.
A statement from the university said the stabbing happened around 4:30 p.m. in the 100 block of Emmett Street. One victim was taken to an area hospital for treatment and is currently in critical condition.
The suspect, a middle-aged white man, was arrested in the Stribling Avenue area.
A spokesperson said the victim and the suspect have no affiliation with the university.
Police posted multiple alerts on X and advised students to shelter in place. The first few were posted with the message "RUN HIDE FIGHT." The shelter in place guidance was lifted after the suspect was arrested.
The stabbing happened just two days after the school was put on lockdown as police searched for a suspect on the campus grounds. The lockdown was lifted after a few hours and police believe that suspect left the area.
