BRIDGEWATER (CBS) – A Bridgewater State University student was stabbed outside an off-campus apartment on Sunday morning.

The student reported to police that he was stabbed with a knife in the upper chest after a brief altercation with another man outside the residence on Burrill Avenue.

The victim was taken to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

The suspect is described only as a tall white man.

Police said the incident appears to be random.

Because the incident occurred at a privately-owned, off-campus residence, Bridgewater police are investigating.
