A stabbing occurred Thursday at the University of Virginia campus in Charlottesville. A suspect was arrested, and a victim was hospitalized in critical condition. The suspect, a middle-aged white male, has no known affiliation with the university, nor does the victim. Police responded to the stabbing report and issued an emergency alert. The suspect fled on foot but was detained shortly afterward without incident. This was the second shelter-in-place alert at the university this week, after a suspect fled a traffic stop in the area and police initiated a search. Charlottesville police are investigating Thursday's attack. (This story was generated by Newser's AI chatbot. Source: the AP)
