University of Minnesota student stabbed in attempted robbery

A University of Minnesota student was stabbed Monday night in the Marcy Holmes area during an attempted robbery, according to the Star Tribune.  The student who was stabbed was trying to fend off the suspect.
 The stabbing took place at the intersection of 11th Avenue and Sixth Street SE at around 9:40p.m. according to the police. 

The victim was jogging through the neighborhood when he came upon the suspect.  The suspect demanded that he empty his pocket before reaching towards the student.  The student was then stabbed in the lower torso.  He ran off, stopped a motorcyclist, then taken to Hennepin County Medical Center for treatment.  He is currently in stable condition.

The U of M text alert system was activated after the administration became aware of the incident.  The texts were sent out just after midnight.
