Campus police issued a public warning about a man stabbing the feet of patrons at the W.T. Young Library early Monday evening.
According to the UKNOW web site by University of Kentucky Public Relations, the UK police are investigating a fourth degree assault after two such attacks took place Monday at the library, the popular and centrally located study destination for undergraduate students on Hilltop Drive.
The UKNOW report gave this account:
“At approximately 6:15 p.m. Monday, April 18, UK Police were notified of an incident that occurred in the basement of W.T. Young Library. Since that time UK Police have learned of a similar incident that took place on the same day and location.
