MISSISSIPPI STATE, Miss. (WCBI) – A stabbing has been reported in the Colvard Student Union on Mississippi State’s campus Friday night.

A Maroon Alert sent out by the university said police had responded and had increased patrols.

The suspect is described as a black male, driving a maroon SUV. It has been reported that the suspect has left campus, but police know who he is.

The male victim has been taken to OCH Regional Hospital, but is in stable condition.

Law enforcement do not believe the suspect is a threat to the public at this time.
