BLOOMINGTON — Indiana University police say a female juvenile suffered superficial cuts in an attack that prompted an emergency alert about a person with knife on the Bloomington campus.
University police Capt. Craig Munroe says a male juvenile attacked the girl Friday morning and was arrested a short time later off campus. Munroe says the juveniles are not IU students and were attending a camp on campus.
The alert warned those near Merrill Hall on the southern edge of campus to shelter in place. It was lifted within about a half hour.
Munroe said he didn't immediately know the ages of the juveniles involved or which camp they were attending.
The suspect has been taken into custody off campus and is no longer a threat to campus.
