Two people were stabbed Friday at Rutgers Business School in Piscataway, New Jersey and a suspect is in custody.
The website NJ.com reported the attacker was a former student, who was being treated for self-inflicted wounds. It identified the two victims as a Rutgers faculty member and student.
All three were treated for injuries.
The attack reportedly took place in a university office.
Students said that they heard screams and saw a woman covered in blood on the fifth floor of the building.
"I just heard the screams. Some faculty members went to the room and wanted to figure out what happened. Then another guy called the police and said, 'Somebody is stabbing. There's blood everywhere,'" Suiyi Jiang, a Rutgers Business School junior, told the student newspaper.
