Student allegedly stabs fellow student in UCLA lab
LOS ANGELES — A female UCLA student was hospitalized Thursday after a fellow student slashed her throat in a chemistry lab on campus, authorities said.
A male suspect was arrested after UCLA police got a call about the stabbing in Young Hall at 12:20 p.m.
UCLA spokesman Phil Hampton said the victim and suspect were among a group of students working in the lab at the time.
Officers were interviewing 30 to 40 witnesses who might have seen the attack, Campus Police Assistant Chief Jeff Young said. No names have been released, and the motive is under investigation.
The woman was being treated for multiple stab wounds at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center. Her condition was not immediately known.
Students told the Los Angeles Times they saw a woman stagger out of the lab moments after the attack while a teacher’s assistant applied pressure to her bloody neck.
Police closed off the building to investigate.READ MORE
