During a brief fight, one of three suspects slashed the victim’s arm with a knife, according to Rutgers Police Chief Kenneth Cop. The victim is not affiliated with the university.
The suspects then took personal possessions and fled on foot. The victim sustained non-life-threatening injuries and was taken to a local hospital for treatment, Cop said.
